摘要
A new approach for the nanofabrication of polymeric structures based on the use of methyl-terminated thiolate self-assembled monolayers as anti-adherent molecular coatings is presented. These monolayers modify the surface characteristics of a rigid template by enhancing the detachment of the polymeric material poured and polymerized onto the template. The advantages of this approach are extremely high vertical and lateral resolution, easy procedure for building the anti-adherent layer and the capability of using rigid instead of elastomeric templates.
