In order to print all 288 monomer solutions four prints were performed from the 384 well plate onto the quartz slide (see Supporting Information).
The thickness of the film was controlled based on the number of layers to be deposited through this technique, which provides an approximate thickness of 12 μm when 18 prints are performed.
Using a pin tool composed of Delrin combs in a PMMA lattice four prints were performed from a 384 well plate containing monomer solutions onto the depressions on the laser etched quartz slide.
Printing was performed using the contact printing robot (SpotBot, Telechem International, CA, USA).
Flexographic printing was performed using an IGT F1 flexographic test printer (IGT Testing Systems, Amsterdam, The Netherlands).
Printing was performed on a MakerBot Replicator Mini + printer (MakerBot Industries, NY), at 500 μ resolution, using an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS, MG Chemicals, BC) filament.
Once all the screen printing was performed, the temperature was increased in 100 °C intervals with rest periods of 10 min between each increase.
3D printing is performed by telling a computer to apply layer upon layer of a specific material (quite often plastic or metal powders), molding them one layer at a time until the final product — be it a toy, a pair of sunglasses or a scoliosis brace — is built.
To promote a roll-to-roll process of atmospheric plasma treatment and inkjet deposition, printing was performed using the conductive polymer poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiopheneSS) on the as-received and poly styrenesulfonaterfaces where the shaPEDOT PSSrphonogy of the lines were studied.
Detailed chemical, structural, and morphological characterization of PS and UHMW PE before and after graphene transfer print was performed using a suite of complementary surface analysis techniques including X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy (NEXAFS), Raman Spectroscopy, and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
