Highly Parallel Fabrication of Nanopatterned Surfaces with Nanoscale Orthogonal Biofunctionalization

This study explores the fabrication of nanopatterned surfaces for applications in biosensors, tissue engineering scaffolds, and bio-MEMS using nanoscale orthogonal biofunctionalization. The process involves Step and Flash Imprint Lithography with quartz templates and bottom antireflective coatings to achieve high-resolution patterning. Results demonstrate the successful biofunctionalization of surfaces with different molecules and cells, enabling potential advancements in various fields. The method provides a cost-effective and efficient approach for creating functional nanoscale patterns on substrates.
