This technique attempts to address some of the stamp deformation issues by performing stamping within a non-compressible fluid. Bessueille et al. have shown that by stamping in a liquid, a much greater pressure can be applied to the stamp without deforming the pattern. additionally, higher aspect ratio features can be stamped. While conventional microcontact printing shows serious deformation over a ratio of 10:1, when submerged, a 46:1 ratio transfers perfectly, and ratios as high as 83:1 are still highly functional. | This technique attempts to address some of the stamp deformation issues by performing stamping within a non-compressible fluid.
