Abstract
Summary: A new approach is introduced to create submicrometer patterned surfaces using multilayer polymer films that contain alternating layers of two polymers, linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) and ethylene‐co‐(acrylic acid) copolymer (EAA). Patterned templates have been prepared by microtoming the multilayer molded sheets. Regionally confined chemical functionality is confirmed by grafting an amine‐terminated biotin and adsorbing streptavidin specifically on the alternating layers of EAA.
