Forces between chemically structured substrates mediated by critical   fluids
  We consider binary liquid mixtures close to their critical points confined by two parallel, geometrically flat but chemically structured, substrates. Universal order parameters profiles are calculated within mean field theory for periodic patterns of stripes with alternating preferences for the two species of the mixture and with different relative positions of the two substrates.   From the order parameters profiles the effective forces between the two plates are derived. The tuning of Casimir amplitudes is discussed.
