This study focuses on the rapid directed nanoscale assembly of polystyrene/polymethyl methacrylate blends into complex patterns of non‐uniform geometries at multiple length scales on a single template. The patterns were created using alkanethiols on gold templates (see image) patterned by dip‐pen nanolithography. These chemically functionalized nanotemplates direct the nanoscale assembly of polymer blends into non‐uniform patterns in short times.
