Patent ID: 7034091

Claim:
A method for preparing an array of polymeric materials, the method comprising preparing an array comprising first and second non-biological organic polymers on a substrate, the first and second non-biological organic polymers being copolymers or higher-ordered polymers, 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, 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.
