  We show that an azopolymer can be used to create a supramolecular
architecture in a parallel process with patterned surface properties. By
illuminating with an interference pattern, we created adhesion and charge
patterns that reflect the molecular ordering. We studied the recording process
in two limit situations. When birefringence dominates over mass transport, an
adhesion pattern was recorded even in absence of a surface relief grating
(SRG). When mass transport dominates, we measured a higher frequency adhesion
and relief patterns on top of the SRG. We measured an increased negative charge
in the regions where molecules are expected to be parallel aligned in trans
conformational state.
