• Microstructure fabrication with a CO2 laser system (2004, methodology): “In contrast to transforming methods such as hot-embossing [5, 10] or injection moulding [13], micromilling [9] and infrared laser ablation [8] represent material-removing fabrication methods.”
• Microinjection molding of thermoplastic polymers: a review (2007, methodology): “For the fabrication of sub-micronic structures, LIGA techniques, silicon wet bulk micromachining and deep reactive ion etching methods are commonly used [35, 36].”
• Bonding of thermoplastic polymer microfluidics (2009, methodology): “These various fabrication methods are well established and summarized in recent review articles (Becker and Gartner 2000, 2008; Becker and Locascio 2002; Rotting et al. 2002; Reyes et al. 2002; Rossier et al. 2002; Chen et al. 2008a).”
• 3D printing: an emerging tool for novel microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip applications (2016, unknown): “Laser-assisted subtractive micromachining such as laser ablation (Papakonstantinou et al. 1999; Rötting et al. 2002; Wang et al. 1999) and laser cutting (Schuettler et al. 2005) are examples of direct micromachining technology.”
• Experimental approach to the laser machining of PMMA substrates for the fabrication of microfluidic devices (2011, background): “Replication methods such as hot embossing [6] and injection molding [7] are not only complex but also expensive compared to material removal processes like CNC milling [8] or laser machining.”
• Injection molding of polymer micro- and sub-micron structures with high-aspect ratios (2006, background): “These components most commonly are made of polymers, so technology for manufacturing polymer microand sub-micron structures is very important [1, 2].”
• Cyclic olefin polymers: emerging materials for lab-on-a-chip applications (2010, background): “Injection moulding is one of the most common techniques for the fabrication of macroscopic polymer parts, since it offers short fabrication cycle times (Rotting et al. 2002).”
