A simple method for the formation of multiscale metal patterns is presented using hierarchical polymeric stamps with perfluoropolyether (PFPE). A dual-scale PFPE structure is made via two-step moulding process under partial photocrosslinking conditions. The hierarchical PFPE stamp enables multiscale transfer printing (MTP) of metal pattern in one step within microwells as well as on curved surfaces.
Keywords: dual-scale structures; hierarchical stamps; multiscale metal patterns; patterning; transfer printing.
