Method of sealing an array of cell microstructures using microencapsulated adhesive
A method for sealing microstructured cells, which are defined by at least a first substrate and a wall microstructure extending from the first substrate, includes a step of applying a plurality of adhesive microcapsules along at least one of a first side of a second substrate and an exposed end portion of the wall microstructure. The adhesive microcapsules containing an adhesive substance. Another step includes positioning the first side of the second substrate adjacent the end portion of the wall microstructure. Still another step includes rupturing at least a portion of the plurality of adhesive microcapsules dispensing the adhesive substance between the end portion of the wall microstructure and the first side of the second substrate. A microstructure is also provided.
