Abstract

A general route to patterning crystal growth is described. Structured polymer templates are employed as substrates on which to support crystal growth, resulting in translation of the polymer-film pattern into the crystal nucleation face (see figure). Continued crystal growth results in the formation of polymer-inorganic hybrid materials.
