Abstract

We present a new non-cleanroom-based replication approach for implementation of high aspect ratio (h=200 μm, d=50 μm) micropillar arrays out of thiol-enes followed by biofunctionalization with chymotrypsin. Our approach exploits gold nanoparticles (GNPs) to bind the enzymes on the thiol-ene surfaces via gold-thiol chemistry.
