Abstract:
A method of evaluating an array of polymeric materials, the method comprisingpreparing an array comprising first and second non-biological organic polymers on a substrate, the first non-biological organic polymer being different from the second non-biological organic polymer, the array being prepared by a method that includes delivering a first component and a second component of the first non-biological organic polymer to a first region of a substrate, delivering a first component and a second component of the second non-biological organic polymer to a second region on the substrate, delivering an initiator to the first and second regions of the substrate, and polymerizing the delivered first and second components of the first non-biological organic polymer to form the first non-biological organic polymer at the first region of the substrate, and simultaneously polymerizing the delivered first and second components of the second non-biological organic polymer to form the second non-biological organic polymer at the second region of the substrate, and screening the first and second non-biological organic polymers for a property of interest selected from the group consisting of a thermal property, a mechanical property, a morphological property, a chemical property, an optical property, a magnetic property and an electrical property.
