Abstract
Sub-micrometer/nanoscale patterned polymer brushes are prepared by employing cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) as a supramolecular recognition motif to assemble functional silica colloids onto Au surfaces as a sacrificial nanopatterning template. By employing CB[8]-mediated host-guest interactions at the interface, it is possible to readily generate nanopatterned materials in aqueous media under ambient conditions.
