17. An alternate strategy for the patterning of a SAM has been reported: L. Yan, X.-M. Zhao, G. M. Whitesides, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 6179;
18. in this case a fully formed SAM is microcontact printed with a reactive derivative which leads to a patterned surface. An alterntaive approach to patterned polymer brushes has been reported: W. M. Lackowski, P. Ghosh, R. M. Crooks, J. Am. Chem. Soc., in press.

23. The degree of polymerization is calculated by dividing the number of moles of monomer by the number of moles of free initiator; the overall contribution from the surface groups is small and hence neglected.
