Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure include polymeric structures (e.g., microneedles) having a lattice microstructure composed of one or more lattice cell units. Polymeric structures according to certain embodiments have repeating lattice cell units that are formed by high resolution continuous liquid interface production. Aspects also include systems for making polymeric structures having a lattice microstructure. Systems according to certain embodiments include a micro-digital light projection system having a light beam generator component and a light projection monitoring component and a liquid interface polymerization module having a build elevator and a build surface configured for generating the polymeric lattice microstructure from a polymerizable composition positioned therebetween. Methods for making polymeric structures having a lattice microstructure with the subject systems are also provided. Patches having an array of polymeric microneedles for applying to a skin surface of a subject are also described. In some embodiments, patches include microneedles that contain an active agent compound (e.g., an immunogenic active agent). Methods for applying the patches to the skin surface of a subject are also described.
