This article reviews the approaches developed to prepare and characterize porous
structured materials by using the breath figures (BF) methodology. In particular, we have …

Since its introduction in 1994, the preparation of ordered porous polymer films by the breath
figure (BF) method has received a considerable interest. The so-called “honeycomb”(HC) …

A breath figure (BF) is the water droplet array that forms when moisture comes in contact
with a cold substrate. This water droplet array has been widely utilized in the past two …

This feature article describes the multiple interfaces in the breath figure (BF) method toward
functional honeycomb films with ordered pores. If a drop of polymer solution in a volatile …

It is well known that luminescent conjugated polymers suffer serious loss of
photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) in the solid state compared to dilute solution. This …

Conjugated polymers have been attracting more and more attention because they possess
various novel electrical, magnetical, and optical properties, which render them useful in …

Honeycomb‐patterned polymer films prepared by the breath figure method exhibit unique
shape features. These films have potential in various applications, but functional materials …

Organizing materials into well-defined nanostructures by self-assembly is of great interest for
manufacturing various photonic devices at limited costs. In this study, we report on a …

The control of the pore size of honeycomb-patterned films has been more or less involved in
most work on the topic of breath figures. Modulation of the pore shape was largely ignored …
