Abstract

A method to transfer-print quenched, ultra-long copolymer cylindrical micelles to a flat surface and the use of these nano-structures to promote spontaneous cell alignment is proposed. Endless possibilities of corona end-group chemical modification provide a new tool to control cell response.
