Ordered Honeycomb Structure Surface Generated by Breath Figures for Liquid Reprography

In this paper, photoelectric cooperative induced patterned wetting is demonstrated on a hydrophobic ordered polymeric honeycomb structure surface, which is prepared by BF method, then photosensitizing with a dye and hydrophobizing with low‐surface‐energy materials; finally, photoelectric cooperative induced patterned wetting is achieved on such a hydrophobic honeycomb structure surface. These results indicate that this work is promising for broadening the applications of photoelectric cooperative liquid reprography, which break the limitations of only using inorganic materials and super‐hydrophobic materials. It should be of great scientific interest to extend the relevant research from inorganic nanorod, nanopore, and nanotube structures to polymeric honeycomb structures, because polymeric materials can overcome the inherent drawbacks of the inorganic materials owing to their advantages of low specific weight, flexibility, tunable material properties, and wide variety.
