Graphical Abstract

A two-dimensional labyrinth is formed by self-organization of cyclindrical brushlike polymacromonomers. Single “brush molecules” can be visualized by atomic force microscopy within a monolayer (see picture on the right). This represents a first step towards the production of well-defined nanostructured surfaces with molecular resolution.
