Abstract
A method for making polymerized molecules is provided whereby a solution containing monomer is contacted to a solid substrate so as to form discrete accumulations of the monomer on the substrate; and the accumulations are contacted with a polymerizing agent, wherein the agent is dispersed in a vehicle which prevents cross contamination of the accumulations.
Claims12
A method for making discrete porous entities, each entity containing a different molecule, the method comprising:
- a) positioning each different molecule at individual positions on an inert substrate wherein the molecule contains an unsaturated moiety;
- b) contacting each of the positioned molecules with a liquid capable of being polymerized;
- and
- c) copolymerizing the liquid and the molecules.
