Microcontainers have many applications in smart packaging for pharmaceuticals, electronics, biological materials, and food products. They can be used as microreactors for expensive or media-sensitive components, or used to encapsulate chemical agents, cells, particles, etc. to prevent premature reactions based on a carefully controlled flux.[1, 2] This property also allows for their use as sensors based on selective permeation of components through the sidewalls. Arrayed microcontainers can aid in high-throughput analysis and fast optimization of component concentrations, sensing protocols, or (drug) delivery conditions. The fabrication of the majority of 3D microcontainers is currently achieved using complex, multistep, 2D lithographic processes predominantly using silicon or plastics. More advanced methods include elements of self-assembly where patterns are fabricated on planar surfaces and upon release are folded along pre-patterned hinges based on specific stimuli.[3–5] Some methods of encapsulation also use templates made with molds or stamps fabricated by lithography.[2, 6] These variations of 2D lithography allow for variable micron scale porosity,[1, 7] while subnanometer-sized pores have been etched into the lids of some microcontainers by nanoimpriniting.[8] Such structures are generally geared toward the encapsulation of cells for therapeutic purposes and have high perfusion rates. Microcontainers with slow release rates are desirable for implantable drug carriers and microreactors. Beyond controlled porosity and mechanical properties, microcontainers also often need transparency at different electromagnetic frequencies, for example for highthroughput analysis.[9]
