Monolayers of polymer molecules were generated at the surface of a solid substrate in situ by using self‐assembled monolayers of initiator molecules. The layers were characterized by IR‐spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance measurements, ellipsometry, X‐ray reflectometry, AFM and neutron reflectometry. Several novel techniques for the photolithographic patterning of the attached films are described. As a potential application for the attached layers the control of adhesion of biological cells to solid substrates is studied.
