Schematic of the hybrid monolithic LC-droplet device fabrication, (a) overall procedures - 1) PDMS mould casting from SU-8 master mould, 2) peeling of the PDMS, 3) TPE pouring and semi-curing, 4) TPE bonding to the substrate and attaching the interconnects, 5) full-curing and monolithic column packing, (b) selective packing of the monolithic column within a microchannel – 1) solutions injection, 2) selective UV exposure through a mask, 3) cleaning and drying and (c) polymerisation of the monolithic column – 1-1) injection of the grafting layer solution, 1-2) UV polymerisation through a mask, 1-3) cleaning and drying, 2-1) injection of the monolithic polymer solution, 2-2) UV polymerisation through a mask, 2-3) cleaning and drying.
