• area. The hydrophobic–hydrophilic patterning is then obtained photocatalytically by exposure of the entire area to UV light, thus, degrading the SAM from the TiO2 domains. This approach was demonstrated with CuO domains prepared by oxidation of Cu that had been deposited by electroless deposition on
