Abstract

Quartz crystal microbalance resonators are described, as are methods of making them using micron sized pillar array of polymethyl methacrylate fabricated on a QCM surface using a nanoimprint lithography process. Their use in any applications, including for example gas and liquid sensors and biosensors as well as other measurement applications, is also discussed.
