5. W = 280 000) films were prepared on glass microscope slides by coating a toluene solution with an application blade. The dry film thickness was ∼50 μm.
6. The anodized aluminum membranes were Whatman AnodiscTM membrane filters with pore size of 0.2 μm and 13 mm diameter.
7. Alumina membranes were dissolved using a 5 wt % sodium hydroxide solution in water/methanol (8:2) at room temperature for 12 h.
8. Scanning electron micrographs are secondary electron images of gold-coated samples obtained using a JEOL JSM 6320F microscope.

15. X-ray photoelectron spectra were recorded with a Perkin-Elmer-Physical Electronics 5100 with Mg Kα excitation (400 W). Spectra were obtained at a 15° takeoff angle (between the plane of the surface and the entrance lens of the detector optics).
16. The hydrophobic photocurable adhesive was a mixture of dodecyl methacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, and benzoin isobutyl ether (96:2:2 wt %). Approximately 0.02 μL was used.
