Abstract: A method for replicating a pattern, comprising: (a) providing a patterned template comprising a patterned template surface having a plurality of recessed or protruded areas formed therein; (b) contacting a volume of a curable perfluoropolyether composition [composition (C)] with the patterned template surface, the composition C comprising: at least one functional perfluoropolyether compound [compound (E)] which comprises a (per)fluoropolyoxyalkylene chain [chain (Rf)], wherein the molecular weight of the chain Rf is more than 1000 and less than 3500, and at least two unsaturated moieties; and at least one photoinitiator; (c) submitting to UV radiations the composition (C) to yield a mold comprising a patterned mold surface, and separating the mold from the patterned template; (d) contacting the patterned mold surface with a (pre)polymer composition [composition (P)]; (e) processing the composition (P) to yield an article having a patterned surface, and separating the article from the mold.
