A laminate nanomold includes a layer of perfluoropolyether defining a cavity that has a predetermined shape and a support layer coupled with the layer of perfluoropolyether. The laminate can also include a tie-layer coupling the layer of perfluoropolyether with the support layer. The tie-layer can also include a photocurable component and a thermal curable component. The cavity can have a broadest dimension of less than 500 nanometers. Un nanomoule stratifié comprend une couche de perfluoropolyéther définissant une cavité qui a une forme prédéterminée et une couche de support couplée à la couche de perfluoropolyéther. Le stratifié peut également comprendre une couche de liaison couplant la couche de perfluoropolyéther avec la couche de support. La couche de liaison peut également comprendre un composant photodurcissable et un composant durcissable thermique. La cavité peut avoir une dimension la plus large de moins de 500 nanomètres.
