Abstract

A two-dimensional micron-sized honeycomb structure was formed when a chloroform solution of an amphiphilic polymer was cast on solid surfaces at high atmospheric humidity. This simple method is widely applicable for patterning of molecular aggregates on solid surfaces. Mesoscopic patterns are demonstrated to be formed spontaneously from a variety of amphiphilic polyion complexes, amphiphilic covalent polymers, and organic–inorganic hybrid materials. Size and structure of the patterns can be regulated by concentration, atmospheric humidity, etc.
