Patent ID: 8734708

Claim:
A method for soft lithography comprising: (i) filling a mold with a transfer medium; (ii) contacting a cured silicone product with the transfer medium such that the transfer medium is transferred onto the cured silicone product, where the cured silicone product is a reaction product of a curable silicone composition comprising a combination of a linear polyorganosiloxane having an average of at least two unsaturated organic groups per molecule and a resin polyorganosiloxane consisting of R 8 3 SiO 1/2 units and SiO 4/2 units, or a combination of a linear polyorganosiloxane having an average of at least two unsaturated organic groups per molecule and a resin polyorganosiloxane consisting of R 8 SiO 3/2 units and R 8 2 SiO 2/2 units, or a combination of a linear polyorganosiloxane having an average of at least two unsaturated organic groups per molecule and a resin polyorganosiloxane consisting of R 8 3 SiO 1/2 units and R 8 SiO 3/2 units, or a combination of a linear polyorganosiloxane having an average of at least two unsaturated organic groups per molecule and a resin polyorganosiloxane consisting of R 8 3 SiO 1/2 units, R 8 SiO 3/2 units, and R 8 2 SiO 2/2 units, or mixtures thereof, where each R 8 is a monovalent organic group, an organohydrogenpolysiloxane, a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst, and a polar additive comprising a polyalkylene oxide functionality and a reactive functionality selected from an unsaturated organic group or a silicon bonded hydrogen atom; and (iii) contacting the cured silicone product with a substrate, thereby transferring the transfer medium to the substrate.
