Abstract
The highly ordered porous films were fabricated from the solution of polystyrene with one carboxyl terminal group in carbon disulfur in a chamber with a water bath. It is found that the pore size can be readily controlled by changing the temperature of water bath. The pore size increases with an increase in the water-bath temperature in a given range. And the porous film from the “dilute” solution can be readily formed even at a low relative humidity (RH), while the porous film from the “concentrated” solution can be fabricated only at a rather high RH. The regularity of porous film becomes better at the higher RH and higher concentration. It suggests that there exists a synergetic effect of solution concentration and RH on the formation of porous film. These phenomena are explained by the slow evaporation rate of the solvent under the conditions.
