    Recently, most of companies, who are developing products for general consumers, are very interested in Universal Design, and are thinking about the way to carry out now. In printing field, it's thought that the correspondence to Universal Design will be needed together with an environmental problem in near the future. It will become the time to deliver the information correctly to users is performed not only by character but by a color design, also.

    This is the review paper on microcontact printing (μCP), the first paper of which was published in 1993 by Kumar and Whitesides (Appl. Phys. Lett., 63, 2002-2004 (1993)). Since 1993, there have been about 500 papers citing this paper, and the number of which per year is still increasing. This reflects enormous potential and wide application of this new technology. In this review, followings are described i) back ground of the birth of μCP including development of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), ii) initial studies of pattering SAMs, iii) patterning SAMs by μCP, iv) application of patterned SAMs, v) soft lithography other than μCP, vi) patterning with liquids and its application to nanostructuring, and vii) the outlook for μCP.

    Volume shrinkage is one of the problems hindering the use of photopolymers as holographic memories. In this study, we examined holographic recording in photopolymers utilizing cationic polymerization reaction with little shrinkage. We utilized oxetane and epoxide as the cationic monomers. Binder and monomer optimization was carried out from the viewpoint of the diffraction efficiency of the recorded hologram and it was clarified that the glass transition temperature of the photosensitive layer and the refractive index difference between the binder and the monomer were correlated with the diffraction efficiency. A low glass transition temperature and a large refractive index difference indicate a high diffraction efficiency.

    Thermal stencil duplicating, in which stencil sheet is thermally perforated, has its distinct feature that can make copies more economically, more easily and more quickly than other printing methods-e.g. Offset printing or Electrophotography, etc. When designing the structure or the properties of thermal stencil sheet it is important to take into account that this system is used for applications with such a feature. In the thermal stencil duplicating system, stencil sheet has two functions the function in platemaking and the function in printing. Very important point in the stencil duplicating system is to make what shape of perforation in its platemaking process. Therefore, studies on film, a thermal printing head, etc. have ever been made. Designing stencil sheet for the thermal stencil duplicating system emphasizes taking full advantage of its ease-of-use so far. Accordingly, the development of the continuum film and the substrate focuses on their multifunctioning. For the future, it is needed to distinguish among the mixed functions and to seek after the possibility of each function.
