Claims28
A structure comprising:
- a porous polymer membrane including an ordered array of voids, wherein the distance between at least two pairs of adjacent voids is substantially the same, wherein a polymer framework separates the voids, wherein the voids extend the entire thickness of the porous polymer membrane to form a channel through the porous polymer membrane.
A method of making a structure, comprising:
- disposing a monomer/nanoparticle mixture onto a surface to form an array of nanoparticles, wherein the distance between at least two pairs of adjacent nanoparticles is substantially the same;
- polymerizing the monomer to form a polymer framework around a portion of the nanoparticles;
- and
- removing the nanoparticles to form an ordered array of voids, wherein the distance between at least two pairs of adjacent voids is substantially the same, wherein the polymer framework separates the voids, wherein the voids extend the entire thickness of the porous polymer membrane.
