Self-Organization of Polystyrenes into Ordered Microstructured Films and Their Replication by Soft Lithography

Abstract: We report on the formation of ordered arrays of micrometric holes on the surface of polystyrene (PS) films cast from volatile solvents in the presence of humidity at different temperatures. The formation mechanism is investigated for PS having different molecular weights, polydispersities, and carboxylic terminations. Among the chosen materials, a highly regular honeycomb microstructured morphology is obtained on the surface of films prepared with dicarboxy-terminated PS with = 100,000. Expe… Show more

“…The authors reported the advantages of 3-dimensional patterned surfaces as photonic crystal materials. 183 Stenzel and coworkers used a thermoresponsive block copolymer, PS-block-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide), which was cast on a cold glass surface at 50% RH and -10…”

“…Detailed mechanism of the honeycomb structure formation form PS layers during a different sample preparation mechanism is discussed by Bolognesi et al 29 Based on the similarity with the structures formed during chloroform dipping in our work, the hole formation mechanism may apply to our system. The authors have reported the formation of highly ordered two and three-dimensional patterns in linear PS with and without terminal polar groups.…”
