Abstract

A micro relief element which comprises: a) a first layer of a first substrate, the first layer having a receptive surface capable of retaining a relief forming polymer; b) an overlay of a desired thickness of the relief forming polymer over the receptive surface; and c) at least one relief feature formed from the relief forming polymer and which protrudes above the overlay; structures and elements comprising such micro relief element; micro-optical, micro-fluidic, micro-electrical and micro-chemical applications thereof; and a method and apparatus for the preparation thereof.
