This project applied the mechanical and chemical characteristics of Microcontact printing to adapt the current printing process at NTB to pattern adhesive and conductive epoxies on non-standard substrates. The process development focused on implementing new methods and process parameters to produce a thin and uniform layer of epoxy. To ensure a reproducible and optimal printing process, a series of printing trials were conducted and the final printed adhesives were characterized.
