Abstract
Honeycomb patterned hybrid films were prepared from sulphonated polystyrene (SPS) and tetrabutyl titanate (TBT) by a combination of the ‘breath figure’ technique with a gelation process. The influences of solvents, concentration and the mass ratio of SPS/TBT in the hybrid sols on the morphology of the honeycomb films were investigated. The results from SEM, FTIR, DSC, TG and XRD showed that well-ordered films were formed when benzene was used as solvent, the mass ratios of SPS/TBT in the range of 10/1~1/2 and the concentration of SPS maintained in the range of 20-80 mg/mL. 22 Refs.
