Abstract

Thin films of polymer suspended across the openings of pores, channels, and microcavities are of interest in a broad range of fundamental and applied contexts. A "reactive" layer-by-layer approach Is demonstrated for the fabrication of suspended thin films and semipermeable membranes that makes use of liquid/ liquid interfaces created between immiscible aqueous and organic phases as templates for film fabrication (see image). (Figure Presented).
