Microcontact printing (MCP) is a technique that utilizes soft lithography to create a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) "stamp" in order to print micro-scale patterns. The concept of microcontact printing was first published in a 1993 paper written by George Whitesides and Amit Kumar of Harvard University. Their original goal was to use microcontact printing for micromachining. Since then, microcontact printing has been used for a variety of applications from biomaterial patterning to micro electronics.<sup>[2]</sup> | Microcontact printing (MCP) is a technique that utilizes soft lithography to create a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) "stamp" in order to print micro-scale patterns.
