Abstract:
This invention relates to a method to characterize an array of polymeric materials comprising: depositing unsilanizable material onto a silanizable substrate in at least 10 regions, thereafter contacting the substrate with an organosilane agent thereby silanizing the substrate but not the unsilanizable material in said regions, optionally, partially or completely removing the unsilanizable material, depositing at least 10 polymeric materials onto said regions, and characterizing the materials. This invention also relates to 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, and (c) depositing a uniform amount of each of the ten or more polymer containing liquids onto a substrate in individual hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic regions.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for injection of one or more chemical components into a reaction chamber are disclosed. The apparatus includes a reaction chamber for receiving one or more libraries in a fixed position relative to the chamber and configured to form a sealed enclosure. An injection manifold is located within the reaction chamber and selectively movable relative to the libraries. The injection manifold is configured for receiving at least one fluid transfer line coupled to an external source for injection of one or more chemical components into the reaction chamber.
Abstract:
A combinatorial method for discovering or optimizing materials is disclosed. The method uses solution-based components that are mixed and dispensed into regions on a substrate for drying and/or heat-treating. The drying and/or heat-treating produces materials that can be tested for a desired property.
