Aryl Azide Based, Photochemical Patterning of Cyclic Olefin Copolymer Surfaces with Non‐Biofouling Poly[(3‐(methacryloylamino)propyl)dimethyl(3‐sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide]

Abstract

Micropatterns of cells were generated on a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) by a combination of aryl-azide-based photopatterning of a polymerization initiator and surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization of non-biofouling 3-(methacryloylamino)propyl)-dimethyl(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (MPDSAH). The optical transparency of the COC made it possible to generate the patterns indirectly through a COC slab.
