Transfer printing inherently promises the heterogeneous material integration to enable nontrivial functional structures and devices as inks are separately prepared on a donor substrate and assembled on other receiving substrates. However, the current transfer printing still has several areas of improvement to achieve those promises practically: (1) methods to prepare wide range of ink materials into transferrable format; (2) high yield and scalable transfer printing of inks onto receiving substrates regardless of ink-substrate material pair compatibility; (3) processes to fabricate inks with multiple functionalities; (4) polymeric stamp materials with tunable underwater adhesion to add further environmental diversity to transfer printing. In this thesis, advanced transfer printing methods to widen material choices and improve process scalability, and a tunable underwater polymer adhesive are introduced. First, in particular to the material choice, methods to process SU8 and colloidal quantum dot films in transferrable format are designed.
