Abstract
AbstractSelf‐assembled honeycomb polycarbonate films were deposited on polymer piezoelectric (poled polyvinylidene fluoride) substrates under a fast dip‐coating process. Ordered structures with micro‐scaled pores dispersed in the polycarbonate matrix were obtained, demonstrating two‐dimensional (2D) hexagonal packing. A theoretical model explaining the self‐assembling process is proposed. Fabricated structures have a potential as 2D tunable photonic crystals. Photonic bandgap location was estimated. Visible‐IR transmittance spectrum of the self‐assembled films was studied with a FT‐IR spectrometer. Diffraction properties of the honeycomb patterns were investigated. High transparency of the components makes possible IR optics applications of obtained structures. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
