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.

Dr. Aránzazu del Campo is heading the department "Functional Surfaces" at the Leibniz Institute for New Materials, Saarbrücken. After getting her PhD degree in Chemistry in 2000, she joined the Max-Planck-Institut für Polymerforschung in Mainz (Germany) as Marie Curie Fellow. In 2003 she moved as Senior Researcher to the Universitá degli Studi di Urbino (Italy), and from 2004 to 2007 she lead an independent research group at the Max-Planck-Institute in Stuttgart (Germany). Her current research work focuses on the development of patterned and responsive polymeric surfaces and materials for controlling and switching adhesion-related phenomena. She has been awarded the Young-Scientist Award 2007 from the Federation of European Material Scientists.
Zusammenfassung
New micro and nanopatterning technologies have been developed in the last years as less costly and more flexible alternatives to phtolithograpic processing. These technologies have not only impacted on recent developments in microelectronics, but also in emerging fields such as disposable biosensors, scaffolds for tissue engineering, non-biofouling coatings, high adherence devices, or photonic structures for the visible spectrum. This handbook presents the current processing methods suitable for the fabrication of micro- and nanostructured surfaces made out of polymeric materials. It covers the steps and materials involved, the resulting structures, and is rounded off by a part on applications. As a result, chemists, material scientists, and physicists gain a critical understanding of this topic at an early stage of its development.
