Abstract This paper report the synthesis of binary-patterned brushes, combining two distinctive surface initiated-polymerizations (SIP) on the basis of different propagating species: the SI Ring Opening Polymerization (ROP) of L-Lactide (LLA) and SI atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of N,N’-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) on gold surface. First of all, a careful study of surfaceinitiated ROP of L-Lactide from hydroxyl end-group of thiol monolayer on gold surface as catalyzed by metal-free catalyst was carried out. The PLLA brushes synthesis was evaluated using two types of thiol monolayer and revealed the influence of ROP initiator chain length on the final thickness of the PLLA film. Combining the soft lithographic technique, microcontact printing, and the liquid phase deposition, the deposition onto specific micro-domains of both initiators was performed. The growth of PDMAEMA brushes and PLLA brushes was conducted by successive ATRP and ROP.
