polystyrene(PS). The imprint samples were tested under mechanical stirring, magnetic stirring in organic solvent such as THF and toluene at an elevated temperature and prolong time. Two chemical reactions were demonstrated on the imprinted samples: esterifications and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The applications of these two reactions on nanoimprinted template will be discussed in this talk. A
