Abstract
We developed stop-flow lithography (SFL) to generate 2-D extruded particles in a previous work [1]. In this work, we use SFL to generate ceramic microcompo-nents from colloidal building blocks for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and cell-laden microgel particles for potential applications in tissue engineering. The colloidal particles generated by passing an index matched solution of colloidal silica with acrylamide solution through a microchannel, were sintered to make silica microgears followed by conversion to silicon microgears using magnesiothermic re-duction [2]. Cell-laden microparticles of different shapes were also synthesized. The cell viability for these gels was ∼ 68%.
