“…For instance, macro-honeycombs have been used not only in sandwich panels [38] but also adopted for many other applications such as energy absorption [57], air directionalization [25], thermal management [171], sound absorption [197], light diffusion [200] and magnetic shielding [201]. In recent years, a wide range of manufacturing processes have also been developed to fabricate micro/nano-honeycomb structures and their evolutional structures that are more affordable and functional for traditional engineering fields as well as emerging biomedicine.…”

“…For example, composite structures such as foam filled hexagonal honeycombs [96,119] and honeycomb-filled single and bitubular polygonal tubes [120] have been developed for enhanced energy absorption. Reentrant hexangular cores with negative Poisson ratios [57], as a kind of auxetic honeycombs, exhibit improved mechanical properties, including shear strength, indentation resistance and fracture toughness, compared to conventional honeycombs.…”

“…For example, the films can be used for the assembly of nanoparticles [1][2][3] , templates [4,5] , optical materials [6][7][8][9] , biointerfaces for tissue engineering [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] , molecularly imprinted membranes [17] , biomimetic surfaces [12,18] , and superhydrophobic surfaces [19] . In 1994, Francois et al [20] discovered that honeycomb-patterned films could be formed from the solution of star-shaped polystyrene (PS) dissolved in carbon disulphide under a flow of moist gas.…”

Highly ordered honeycomb-patterned polystyrene (PS)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) films were prepared by a water-assisted method using an improved setup, which facilitated the formation of films with higher regularity, better reproducibility, and larger area of honeycomb structures. Surface aggregation of hydrophilic PEG and adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the honeycomb-patterned films were investigated. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to observe the surface morphologies of the films before and after being rinsed with water. As confirmed by the FESEM images and the AFM phase images, PEG was enriched in the pores and could be gradually removed by water. The adsorption of fluorescence-labeled BSA on the films was studied in visual form using laser scanning confocal microscopy. Results clearly demonstrated that the protein-resistant PEG was selectively enriched in the pores. This water-assisted method may be a latent tool to prepare honeycomb-patterned biofunctional surfaces.honeycomb-patterned film, water-assisted method, polystyrene, poly(ethylene glycol), surface aggregation

The preparation of self-ordered porous polystyrene film using auxiliary of ultrasonic fogging device

One of the methods to fabricate ordered micro-structured film is the usage of water droplets from humid-air flow as template. However, humid-air flow on the surface of polymer solution during cast of porous polymeric film may lead to uneven surface of the porous polymeric film. Moreover, the influence of atmosphere humidity on the average pore size of porous polymeric film is significant. In this study, we developed a novel method to fabricate even surface of porous polymeric film and reduce the influence of atmosphere humidity on the pore size. To achieve this purpose, an ultrasonic fogging device was employed to produce water droplets instead of humid air. The water droplets produced by an ultrasonic fogging device may contain negative ions to prevent the water droplets from aggregation. Therefore, the pore size of water droplets is able to be stabilized. In addition, the water droplets produced by an ultrasonic fogging device are able to fully fill in container in advance, which may avoid large humid-air flow to agitate the surface of polymer solution. Thus the even surface of porous polymeric film can be acquired.
