An approach to the modification and post‐fabrication chemical patterning of amine‐reactive superhydrophobic surfaces is reported. The approach is based on the layer‐by‐layer fabrication of azlactone‐containing polymer multilayers, and permits the direct covalent attachment and subsequent patterning of chemical and biological “inks” using a variety of pratical and low‐cost pattern‐transfer methods.
