本研究旨在开发由不同颜色的光驱动的选择性光化学工具，用于制造纳米结构聚合物刷薄膜。通过使用不同的波长来选择性地激活特定的化学反应，这将使多个反应能够同时进行，从而显著简化制造。此外，与现有方法相比，增加的选择性为更复杂的纳米结构提供了途径。这项研究将导致制造具有无与伦比精度的3D聚合物刷架构，这将对各种应用具有很高的科学和工业价值，如光电子学，纳米致动和传感。

This research aims the development of selective photochemical tools driven by different colours of light for the fabrication of nanostructured polymer brush thin films. By using different wavelengths to selectively activate specific chemical reactions, this will enable multiple reactions to be performed simultaneously, significantly streamlining fabrication. Additionally, the increased selectivity offers pathways to more sophisticated nanoarchitectures in comparison to existing methods. This research will lead to the fabrication of 3D polymer brush architectures with unparalleled precision, which will be of high scientific and industrial value for a diverse range of applications, such as optoelectronics, nanoactuation, and sensing.
