Generating Micro- and Nanopatterns on Polymeric Materials

This first handbook on this hot subject presents current processing methods suitable for the fabrication of micro and nanostructured surfaces made out of polymeric materials. It covers the steps and polymeric materials involved, as well as the resulting structures, and is rounded off by a section on the manifold fields of application, such as disposable biomedical devices, tissue engineering and implant fabrication, biofouling, biomimetic surfaces and photonic structures.
As a result, chemists, material scientists and physicists gain a critical understanding of this topic at an early stage of its development.
