Enhanced Self‐Organized Dewetting of Ultrathin Polymer Films Under Water‐Organic Solutions: Fabrication of Sub‐micrometer Spherical Lens Arrays

Ankur Verma, Ashutosh Sharma

Advanced Materials· Volume 22· Issue 46

Abstract

Submicrometer spherical lenses and lens arrays are fabricated by freeing the dewetting of ultrathin (< 100 nm) polymer films from interfacial tension limitation and by harnessing the self-organization of films. The lens-size is continuously tunable from 200 nm to few tens of micrometers with contact angles ranging from 30° – 150°.
