ABSTRACT:
A method for assembling components on a substrate including the steps of: (a) selectively coating at least a first receptor site of the substrate with a liquid precursor that forms a solid adhesive upon contact with an initiator; (b) providing each of the components with an adhesion surface that has the initiator; and (c) depositing the components on the substrate in a manner that causes a first of the components to contact the at least first receptor site whereupon contact between the initiator and the liquid precursor causes formation of the adhesive which affixes the first compound to the first receptor site. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the precursor is a liquid monomer and the initiator initiates a polymerization reaction upon contact with the monomer to form a solid polymer.
