“…In contrast to the extensive use of Dimatix Materials Printer DMP-2800 for fabricating 3D structures from various polymers, [21][22][23] the piezoelectric drop-on-demand ink-jetting platform of the printer was adopted for printing HFIP onto electrospun PCL/collagen fi ber meshes in our design ( Figure 1 a). Although other solvents could be used, e.g., (Table S1 and Figure S5, Supporting Information).…”

With the assistance of an ink-jet printer, solvent (the "ink") can be controllably and reproducibly printed onto electrospun nanofiber meshes (the "paper") to generate various micropatterns and subsequently guide distinct cellular organization and phenotype expression. In combination with the nanofiber-assisted layer-by-layer cell assembly, the patterned electrospun meshes will define an instructive microenvironment for guided tissue formation.

“…Over the past few decades, researchers developed a variety of methods for the preparation of M/N‐PMs. These methods include track etching, [ 16 ] phase inversion, [ 63 ] soft lithography, [ 64,65 ] micromolding in capillaries, [ 66 ] focus ion‐beam milling, [ 67,68 ] polymer casting, [ 69,70 ] electrospinning, [ 71 ] manual punching, [ 72 ] self‐assembled bead‐based lithography, [ 73,74 ] as well as phase‐separation microfabrication. [ 75,76 ] In the last 10 years, with the continuous research on the engineered membranes, several novel methods have been proposed for the preparation of M/N‐PMs.…”

Porous membrane materials at the micro/nanoscale have exhibited practical and potential value for extensive biological and medical applications associated with filtration and isolation, cell separation and sorting, micro‐arrangement, in‐vitro tissue reconstruction, high‐throughput manipulation and analysis, and real‐time sensing. Herein, an overview of technological development of micro/nanoporous membranes (M/N‐PMs) is provided. Various membrane types and the progress documented in membrane fabrication techniques, including the electrochemical‐etching, laser‐based technology, microcontact printing, electron beam lithography, imprinting, capillary force lithography, spin coating, and microfluidic molding are described. Their key features, achievements, and limitations associated with micro/nanoporous membrane (M/N‐PM) preparation are discussed. The recently popularized applications of M/N‐PMs in biomedical engineering involving the separation of cells and biomolecules, bioparticle operations, biomimicking, micropatterning, bioassay, and biosensing are explored too. Finally, the challenges that need to be overcome for M/N‐PM fabrication and future applications are highlighted.

“…Although inkjet printing is generally recognized as an additive tool for the deposition of functional materials on target substrates, it can also be used as a subtractive tool for the removal of very small areas of predeposited films [19,26,27]. As shown in Figure 1, the inkjet printing of a solvent onto a polymer film can etch the polymer, which results in the formation of a ring-like deposit through the coffee-ring effect [28].…”

Inkjet printing techniques for the etching of polymers and their application to the fabrication of organic electronic devices are reviewed. A mechanism is proposed for the formation of via holes in polymer layers through inkjet printing with solvent, and recent achievements in the fabrication with inkjet etching of various three-dimensional microstructures (i.e., microwells, microgrooves, hexagonal holes, and concave structures) are discussed. In addition, organic electronic devices are presented that use inkjet-etched subtractive patterns as platforms for the selective depositions of an emissive material, a liquid crystal, an organic conductor, an organic insulator, and an organic semiconductor, and as an optical waveguide.
