Abstract

3D polymer structures can be fabricated by rational control of the spacing between nanosized polymer brushes. Each nanobrush can be precisely patterned by combination of dip-pen nanodisplacement lithography and surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP; see picture). Complex 3D topographic images of the Mona Lisa have been obtained in this way.
