Microfabrication of Stimuli-Responsive Polymers

Abstract

In this chapter, the fabrication of robust biomolecule microarrays by reactive microcontact printing (μCP) on spin-coated thin films of poly(N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-methacrylate) (PNHSMA) on oxidized silicon and glass is described. The approach combines the advantages of activated polymer thin films as coupling layers, characterized by high reactivity and high molecular loading (see Chaps. 3 and 4), with the versatility and flexibility of soft lithography.
