Abstract:
Method for the production of a continuous composite comprising a multifunctional microstructure of at least one fuctionalising material selected from substantially non UV curable material obtained by growth on a marker material; and a relief forming material which comprises a material which is at least partially UV or thermally curable, thermally formable or chemically reactive; the composite is a product of a process comprising:micromoulding with use of an advancing line of contact along a rigid or flexible supporting layer to provide a layer of the relief forming material having a plurality of relief features and defining at least one retaining feature; andsimultaneously or subsequently depositing the functionalising material in the at least one retaining feature, wherein functionalising material is deposited by accessing a marker material in the retaining feature with subsequent growth thereon.
