Functional hybrid micro-structured patterns via breath figure arrays

摘要

Here we show a facile and versatile method to prepare highly ordered inorganic patterns on solid substrates by pyrolyzing cross-linked polymer/functional precursor hybrid films. The cross-linked polymer matrix acted as structure-directing agent in a pyrolyzing process, whilst the functional precursor was converted into the skeleton of the micro-patterns. The inorganic micro-patterns could be functionalized to create CNT and ZnO nanorod arrays by simply changing different precursors. This simple technique offers new prospects in the field of micro-patterns, nanolithography and template.
