Popis: | Patterned films with hexagonal structures were prepared by photochemical grafting of hydrophobic poly(acrylic acid 2-ethyl-hexylester) (PEHAA) as barrier and poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) as reaction area. The films have been characterized by ellipsometry, contact angle measurements, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These patterned films have been used in silica mineralization experiments by dipping them into a silica precursor solution. Silica deposition occurs only in PEI-coated areas, resulting in regular arrays of lens-shaped silica particles. The deposited silica was investigated by SEM and atomic force microscopy (AFM). |
