In present paper, a facile method to fabricate nanopillar arrays of polydimethylsiloxane. Nanopillar arrays were fabricated by using highly ordered through-hole anodic porous alumina film as a template and filling the anodic alumina nanosize pore arrays with polydimethylsiloxane. Anodic aluminum oxide films possess hexagonally ordered porous structures with pore diameters rang from 100 to 300 nm, pore depths about 5 ìm, and the pillars size almost the same with the nanopores. The morphologies of template membrane and nanopillar arrays were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
