Schematic representation of the PRINT process. a.) Empty mold (green), high surface energy polymer sheet (clear), roller (black) is brought into contact with the particle precursor solution (red) and the mold; b.) Roller evenly distributes particle precursor solution into the cavities of mold. Excess particle precursor solution is wicked away by the high surface energy polymer sheet; c.) Particles are cured in the mold; d.) Particles are removed from the mold; e.) Particles are collected or harvested using a number of different film based techniques and ultimately are dispersed in solution.
