title: Additive, modular functionalization of reactive self-assembled monolayers: toward the fabrication of multilevel optical storage media.
abstract: We report a novel strategy based on iterative microcontact printing, which provides additive, modular functionalization of reactive SAMs by different functional molecules. We demonstrate that after printing the molecules form an interpenetrating network at the SAM surface preserving their individual properties. We exploited the process by fabricating new optical storage media that consist of a multilevel TAG.
