Molecular Editing of Polymer Brushes with the Tip of an AFM — •Roland Groeger1, Ingo Samerski1, Thomas Schimmel1,2, and Stefan Walheim11Institute for Nanotechnology, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, 76021 Karlsruhe (Germany) — 2Institute of Applied Physics, University of Karlsruhe, 76131 Karlsruhe (Germany)

Polymer brushes prepared from low molecular-weight carboxyl-functionalized polystyrene and polybutadiene were prepared on silicon oxide surfaces. Their topography and their adhesion properties are investigated by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). We describe how these ultra-thin polymer films can be mechano-chemically removed by the tip of an AFM at pre-defined locations and subsequently replaced by another polymer species. In this way it was possible to generate polymeric surfaces with a pre-defined chemical pattern. This opens perspectives for generating specifically functionalized nano-scale patterns, e.g. for nano-biology.
