Vapor-based techniques can also be used to create chemically or topographically structuredcoatings on various substrates, which is of interest for example in the development

Introduction
Polymer coatings have wide-spread applications, from electronics [1], to sensor systems [2] to biotechnology [3]. The ability to spatially control the surface properties in order to further
. Many examples exist for the post-deposition structuring of homogeneous coatings, for example, with the use of lithographic techniques [5][6][7]. Instead, the focus of this review lies on the various methods which can be utilized to form structuredcoatings during the vapor deposition process.
