Claim:
1. A method of making a laminate mold comprising: positioning a patterned master comprising a pattern defining structures adjacent to a support layer; positioning a polymer material between the patterned master and the support layer; engaging the patterned master and support layer with a roller to form a laminate from the patterned master with the support layer, wherein the polymer material is dispersed between the patterned master and the support layer; conforming the polymer material in the laminate such that the polymer material conforms to the structures defined in the patterned master to create a mold from the polymer material having structures that substantially mirror the structures of the patterned master; and removing the patterned master from the mold, wherein the mold is coupled with the support layer and the coupled support layer with mold has a combined modulus at least 200 times the modulus of the mold alone.
