Abstract
Microcontact printing has proven to be a useful technique in the patterned functionalization of certain chemicals onto surfaces. It has been particularly valuable in the patterning of biological materials. In this review, we describe the basic principles of the technology as well as its use in several applications, with an emphasis on biological ones. We also discuss the limitations and future directions of this method.
