an example of a matrix includes a support, a crosslinked polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane resin film (poss) on a surface of the support, and a layer of hydrophobic polymer standardized on the crosslinked epoxy resin film. the patterned hydrophobic polymer layer defines discrete exposed areas of the crosslinked epoxy resin film, and a polymer coating is attached to the exposed discrete areas. another example of a matrix includes a support, a modified epoxy resin film on a surface of the support and a hydrophobic polymer layer standardized on the modified epoxy resin film. the modified epoxy poss resin film includes a polymer growth initiation site, and the standard hydrophobic polymer layer defines discrete exposed areas of the modified epoxy resin film. a polymer brush is attached to the polymer growth initiation site in the exposed discrete areas. |
