Stamp-Assisted Polymer Dewetting

As already mentioned, dewetting leads to spontaneous patterning with spatial correlations, but a precise positioning of the individual structures is unlikely to occur across a very large area. A possible approach to overcome this limit relies on the spatial confinement of dewetting by means of an external agency, like a stamp. 

The dewetting was guided by the presence of the topographic structure and initiated strictly at the boundary of the thicker and
