摘要：Soft lithography-based patterning techniques have been developed to investigate biological and chemical phenomena. Until now, micropatterning with various materials required multiple procedural steps such as repeating layer-by-layer patterning, aligning of stamps, and incubating printed inks. Herein, we describe a facile micropatterning method for producing chemically well-defined surface architectures by combining microcontact (µCP) and microfluidic vacuum-assisted degas-driven flow guided patterning (DFGP) with a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamp. To demonstrate our concept, we fabricated a bi-composite micropatterned surface with different functional molecular inks such as fluorescein isothiocyanate labelled bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-silane for a biomolecule array, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and PEG-silane pattern for a self-assembled colloid gold nanoparticle monolayer. With a certain composition of molecular inks for the patterning, bi-composite surface patterns could be produced by this µCP-DFGP approach without any supplementary process. This patterning approach can be used in microfabrication and highly applicable to biomolecules and nanoparticles that spread as a monolayer.
