Claim:
1. A method of forming a material structure from structural units contained within a liquid solution in a spray head, the liquid solution including a solvent and a solute, the solute comprising a plurality of the structural units, the structural units including monomer units, oligomer units, or combinations thereof, the method comprising: forming droplets of the liquid solution including the structural units, and spraying the droplets on a substrate; wherein the spraying of the droplets increases the reactivity of the structural units within the droplets relative to the structural units within the liquid solution in the spray head, thereby enabling the structural units to covalently bond with one another or with the substrate at a higher rate than before the increase in the reactivity; and the material structure is formed on the substrate from the structural units within the droplets.
