Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201302492-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Bioinspired poly(dopamine) (PDA) films</bold> are merged with antifouling poly(MeOEGMA) brushes utilizing a nitrile imine‐mediated tetrazole‐ene cycloaddition (NITEC)‐based phototriggered surface encoding protocol. The antifouling brushes were photopatterned on PDA surfaces, leading cells to form confluent layers in the non‐irradiated sections, while no adhesion occurred on the brushes resulting in a remarkably precise cell pattern. The presented strategy paves the way for the design of tailor‐made patterned cell interfaces. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3v0wrs4w" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
