How to fabricate the "Composite Microneedles"?

30 May 2021 0 2K Report

Hello,

I am struggling with the fabrication of composite microneedles (Silk tip / PVA or PVP pedestal).

Issues

1) How to remove the silk residue on the PDMS after pouring the silk solution?

2) How to detach silk/PVA composite microneedles from the PDMS molds?

If anyone else knows the detailed processes, please let me know :)

Thank you!
