Design and manufacturing of PDMS micro structures with dynamic inclination angle
… kinematically coupled alignment grooves; tilted SU8 microstructures with periodicity of 50 microns made by inclined photolithography. Both molds were used to cast films of 100 micron thickness from polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS); and releasing the film was achieved using a sacrificial mold coating …
