Comparison of polymers to enhance mechanical properties of microneedles for bio-medical applications

Abstract To pierce through the skin and interact with the first biofluid available, microneedles should be mechanically strong. However, some polymers used to fabricate microneedles yield insufficient strength for the fabrication of arrays (PDMS, highly porous structures, etc.). To enhance mechanica...
