Abstract

The controlled deposition of polyelectrolyte macroinitiators for polymer brush growth is investigated. High resolution patterns are created for periodic array gratings towards responsive polymer brush sensors. Further, controlling the segregation of the macroinitiator to the droplet edge by careful manipulation of the constituent solutes leads to sub-micron patterning of polymer brushes.
