Compositions including a plurality of reactive components. The reactive components each include an inorganic core with one or more photoresponsive ligand(s) covalently bonded to a surface of the inorganic core. A composition may also include a photoinitiator. Methods of making an article of manufacture includes photochemically reacting at least a portion of one or more layer(s) formed from one or more composition(s). The photochemical reaction may be carried using a laser as a source of electromagnetic radiation. An article of manufacture, which may be a three-dimensional article of manufacture, may be or is a part of a microfluidic device, HPLC column, fluidic channel, point of care device, or diagnostics device.
