Organic and polymeric materials are effective in tailoring the chemical and physical properties of the surface layer, and to introduce functions to materials. We have developed a simple and versatile method for attaching a wide range of soft materials on solid substrates. The technique employs a photochemical coupling chemistry that is fast, efficient, and is capable of creating structures with control over density and topography.1 Applications of this surface functionalization technique for the fabrication of nanowells,2 carbohydrate microarrays3 and single polymers4 will be highlighted.
