We present an overview of the possibilities offered by the combination of plasma polymers deposition and nanopatterning by colloidal and electron beam lithography. It is shown that chemical and topographical patterns can be obtained on different substrates, with dimensions of the order of a few 100 nm. Two examples of applications of these nanostructures for protein adsorption studies are presented.
