Abstract

By exciting standing surface acoustic waves (SAWs), a monomer solution can be shaped into a wavy structure. By applying ultraviolet (UV) polymerization, a linear undulate microarray can be fabricated on the polymer material using one-dimensional standing SAWs. When two-dimensional standing SAWs are applied, a latticed microarray, which presents periodically distributed bumps and wells, can be fabricated. The periodicity of the undulate microarray is dependent on the SAW wavelength. Also, the undulating amplitude of the microarray is tunable when applying different input voltages to generate SAWs. The integrated standing SAWs and UV polymerization process provide a rapid method for creating periodic surface patterns.
