Essay

Polymeric films with highly ordered pores of narrow size distribution are of great interest to industry for a variety of applications. Methods for the formation of ordered porous polymeric films are currently dominated by ‘top down’ lithographic techniques that use electrons or high-energy molecules to pattern surfaces. These techniques are complicated and expensive, especially when applied to nanoscaled structures. ....[full text; pdf file - 1.24MB]
