1. A method of synthesizing tips for polymer pen lithography comprising:
- selecting a polymer selected from the group consisting of methacrylates, acrylates, elastomers, thiol-ene polymers and co-polymers thereof;
depositing the selected polymer into molds;
covering the molds with a support structure, the polymer adhering to the support structure; and
removing the support structure and tips which comprise the selected polymer from the molds.
