ABSTRACT:
One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for transferring a patterned polyelectrolyte multilayer from a first surface, e.g., a PDMS stamp, to a second surface, e.g. fabric or a non-woven material, wherein the patterned polyelectrolyte multilayer on the first surface is brought into contact with the second surface in order to transfer the polyelectrolyte multilayer from the first surface to the second surface. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a stamp comprising a surface coated with a polyelectrolyte multilayer suitable for transfer to a substrate using the aforementioned method of transferring patterned multilayers.
