Laser Structuring of Soft Materials: Laser-Induced Forward Transfer and Two-Photon Polymerization

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in the Application of Lasers in Materials Science

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 274))

Abstract

This chapter discusses recent progress in 2D and 3D printing technologies, in particular laser-induced forward transfer and two-photon polymerization (TPP) . We explore their potential for applications in micro-electronics, protein microarrays , sensors and biosensors, and tissue engineering. An overview of the factors that affect patterning, miniaturization and functionality is presented. A special focus is placed on laser direct writing via TPP for the fabrication of 3D vertical microtubes acting as microreservoirs for an osteogenic drug.
