Abstract

Charge nanopatterning onto polymer film surfaces has been accomplished by using an SPM probe tip to create localised corona discharge electrification. The efficacy of surface charging is shown to strongly correlate to the polymer substrate hydrophilicity. This has led to a predictive structure-behaviour relationship.
