Abstract
| - Hydrogel stamps are used to reactively micropattern various types of substrates. The method, calledreactive wet stamping (r-WETS), is general in nature and overcomes several limitations of conventionalsoft-lithographic techniques. Illustrative applications of r-WETS in surface wettability modification,deposition of metallic microstructures, preparation of supports for electrostatic self-assembly, and multistepreactive patterning are discussed.
