A deformable stamp for patterning a surface. The stamp can be placed in
contact with an entire 3-dimensional object, such as a rod, in a single
step. The stamp can also be used to pattern the inside of a tube or
rolled over a surface to form a continuous pattern. The stamp may also be
used for fluidic patterning by flowing material through channels defined
by raised and recessed portions in the surface of the stamp as it
contacts the substrate. The stamp may be used to deposit self-assembled
monolayers, biological materials, metals, polymers, ceramics, or a
variety of other materials. The patterned substrates may be used in a
variety of engineering and medical applications.
