There was a Lab on a Chip "Chips & Tips" segment on something similar to what you need published last year: "Chips & Tips: An inexpensive and durable epoxy mold for PDMS" http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/lc/Chips_and_Tips/epoxy_mould.asp - Kevin On Sun, Oct 10, 2010 at 9:42 PM, Shao Guochengwrote: > Dear all, > > I have a structure that can only be fabricated with SU-8 in a positive > manner (that is, my SU-8 structure is the same as my final structure, instead of > being a negative as in most SU-8 mold fabrication).
