    Abstract: This invention relates to a method to charaterize an array of polymeric materials comprising: deposition wettable, preferably unsilanizable material, onto a substrate whi ch is preferably silanizable, in at least 10 regions, thereafter contacting the substrate wit h a non-wettable material, preferably an organosilane agent, thereby rendering the substrate non-wettable, preferably silanizing the substrate, but not the wettable, preferably unsilanziable, material in said regions, optionally, partially or completely removing the wettable, preferably unsilanziable, material, depositing at least 10 polymeric materials onto sai d regions, and characterizing the materials. This invention also relates to a method for forming an array of polymeric materials to be characterized onto a substrate comprising: (a) selecting ten or more polymers, (b) dissolving or suspending each polymer in a separate liquid, an d (c) depositing a uniform amount of each of the ten or more polymers containing liquids onto a substrate in individual wettable, preferably hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic, regions. Likewise this invention also relates to an array of polymeric materials for use in characterization, comprising: (a) a substrate having multiple regions on the substrate that ar e not coated with a non-wettable material, preferably an organosilane, and wherein the uncoated regions have a boarder of a non-wettable, preferably an organosilane agent, coated on the substrate, and (b) a polymer deposited on the regions not coated with the non-wettable material, preferably an organosilane agent.
