Abstract :
Self assembly in the fluidic phase is a technique excellently suited for the parallel assembly of millions of micro-parts, as it is necessary for pixel displays. In this work, we investigate the effect of volume shrinking during an inhomogeneous polymerization of the glue and discuss the implications for the design of the assembled micro-parts.
