ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method to characterize an array of polymeric materials comprising: depositing unsilanizable material onto a silanizable substrate in at least 10 regions, thereafter contacting the substrate with an organosilane agent thereby silanizing the substrate but not the unsilanizable material in said regions, optionally, partially or completely removing the unsilanizable material, depositing at least 10 polymeric materials onto said regions, and characterizing the materials. This invention also relates to method for forming an array of polymeric materials to be characterized onto a substrate comprising: (a) selecting ten or more polymers, (b) dissolving or suspending each polymer in a separate liquid, and (c) depositing a uniform amount of each of the ten or more polymer containing liquids onto a substrate in individual hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic regions. Likewise this invention also relates to an array of polymeric materials for use in characterization, comprising: (a) a substrate having multiple regions on the substrate that are not coated with an organosilane and wherein the uncoated regions have a boarder of an organosilane agent coated on the substrate, and (b) a polymer deposited on the regions not coated with an organosilane agent.
