Patterned transfer articles

A method for making a patterned article, the method comprising:

• removing a transfer article from a release layer chosen from a metal layer or a doped semiconductor layer, the transfer article comprising:
• a first acrylate layer overlaying the release layer, wherein a release value between the release layer and the first acrylate layer is from 2 to 50 grams/inch, and
• a functional layer overlaying the first acrylate layer, wherein the functional layer comprises at least one inorganic layer;
• and
• contacting the first acrylate layer with a tool comprising structures having a period of less than about 200 microns to form a plurality of toolmarks interspersed with cracks in at least one inorganic layer in the functional layer to provide a patterned article with a microfractured inorganic layer.
