  6. Incubation Can Destroy Polymer

  7. Not Sure Whether “Balloons” Stick Before Incubation After Incubation

  8. Conclusions and Future Work • Despite difficulties, I can thermally pattern and incubate the polymer with “balloons.” • I am not sure whether the “balloons” stick yet, and this would be the subject of later work. • Further steps would be to develop a better process that would consistently preserve the polymer during incubation. Also, there needs to be testing of our strategy with particular “scissors.”
