Breath Figure Method for Construction of Honeycomb Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
Honeycomb films with various building units, showing potential applications in biological, medical, physicochemical, photoelectric, and many other areas, could be prepared by the breath figure method. The ordered hexagonal structures formed by the breath figure process are related to the building units, solvents, substrates, temperature, humidity, air flow, and other factors. Therefore, by adjusting these factors, the honeycomb structures could be tuned properly. In this review, we summarized the development of the breath figure method of fabricating honeycomb films and the factors of adjusting honeycomb structures. The organic-inorganic hybrid was taken as the example building unit to discuss the preparation, mechanism, properties, and applications of the honeycomb films.

Arrayed microchannels with dimensions of tens to hundreds of micrometres show great potential for application in microfluidics, microreactor devices and other areas. In this work, we report the formation of ordered arrays of cracks on solution-cast colloidal films, and the preparation of radially aligned microchannels. The polymer film coating enables the colloidal film to be detached from the ...
متن کاملPatterning on nonplanar substrates: flexible honeycomb films from a range of self-assembling star copolymers.
The effect of glass transition temperature, Tg, on the self-assembly of "honeycomb" microstructures on nonplanar substrates was probed by the synthesis of a library of core cross-linked star polymers with different arm compositions. Star polymers based on poly(dimethyl siloxane), poly(ethyl acrylate), poly(methyl acrylate), poly(tert-butyl acrylate), and poly(methyl methacrylate) were synthesiz...

A novel honeycomb-patterned fluorescent film was fabricated by self-assembly of polystyrene (PS)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)/meso-tetra (N-methy-4-pyridyl) porphinetetratosylate (TMPyP) blend system, at the assistance of diisooctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT). Ordered microporous PS/PEG/TMPyP/AOT blend films were prepared by the breath figure method. The condensed water droplets acted as the sa...
