INCREASING ADHESION IN AN IMPRINTING PROCEDURE

摘要

A method for increasing adhesion between a substrate (10) and a polymeric imprintable material (12) during an imprinting procedure. The method includes chemically bonding a plurality of moleclues (20) to a surface (18) of a substrate (10) to form a self-assembled monolayer (14) thereon. A monomer (26) is copolymerized with the self-assembled monolayer (14) to form a polymeric imprintable material (12) that is chemically bonded to the self-assembled monolayer (14). Adhesion between the polymeric imprintable material (12) and the substrate (10) is substantially increased by the self-assembled monolayer (14).
