Abstract
A new application of the combination of soft lithography and solventless polymerization was demonstrated. It was used to pattern ultra-hard microstructures in selected areas using the highly oriented polyacetylene (HOPA) films as the precursor. The application was found to lead the formation of highly oriented films of other polymers, including electro-optically active polymers that require a high orientation order to achieve enhanced device performance. The results show that HOPA films are slightly more hydrophobic.
