Abstract

Patterned micro- and nanostructure are of great significance in industrial applications such as electronics, optics and sensors. Microporous honeycomb film of polyhpenylene oxide (PPO) was fabricated as the template via evaporation of solution in carbon bisulfide under humid ambience. The effect of fabrication conditions on patterned microstructure was investigated by self-organization experiments to build quantitative relationship between ambient conditions such as humidity, concentration and honeycomb microstructure (diameter and height), through which the honeycomb film formation can be controlled to self-organize desirable PPO patterned microstructure. Especially, the height of honeycomb was derived from the diameter of honeycomb, and its validity was clarified by morphological comparison between PPO template and PDMS molded structure. Moreover, soft mold experiments were conducted to demonstrate its high efficiency and excellence as an alternative to construct regular micro-pattern.
