Abstract

A facile and robust strategy for creating micropatterned polymer brushes via the combination of a micro-contact printing (μCP) induced supramolecular self-assembled photoactive surface with subsequent self-initiated photografting and photopolymerization (SIPGP) is reported. The results contribute to polymeric functionalization on a wide range of hydroxylated surfaces or graphene based materials.
