Fabrication of structured porous films by breath figures and phase separation processes: Tuning the chemistry and morphology inside the pores using click chemistry

Herein, a facile water-assisted templating technique, the so-called breath figures method, in combination with phase separation process, was employed to prepare multifunctional micropatterned films. Tetrahydrofuran solutions of incompatible ternary blends consisting of high-molecular-weight polystyr...

Tetrahydrofuran solutions of incompatible ternary blends consisting of high-molecular-weight polystyrene, an amphiphilic block copolymer, polystyrene-b-poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (PS40-b-P(PEGMA300)48), and a fluorinated homopolymer, poly(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene) (P5FS21) were casted under humid atmosphere varying the proportion of the components. Two simultaneously occurring processes, i.e., the breath figures mechanism and the phase separation process, lead to unprecedented morphologies that could be tuned by simply varying the relative humidity or the composition of the blend. Confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy served to provide information about the location and distribution of the different functionalities in the films. As a result, both the amphiphilic block copolymer and the fluorinated polymer were mainly located in the cavities. Above a certain percentage of relative humidity, honeycomb structured films were obtained in which the block copolymer is distributed on the edge of the pore as a result of the affinity by the condensing water droplet and the coffee stain effect. The homopolymer is also preferentially situated at the pore edge, but forming spherical domains with narrow polydisperse sizes. Moreover, thiolated glucose molecules were specifically attached to the P5FS21 domains via thiol-para fluorine "click" reaction. Subsequently, the specific lectin (Concanavalin A, Canavalia ensiformis) was attached to the surface by conjugation with the glucose moieties. The successful binding of the Con A was demonstrated by the fluorescence, observed exclusively at the areas where P5FS21 domains are located. This nonlithographic method opens a new route to fabricate a huge variety of microstructured polymer films in terms of morphology not only for protein patterning, as illustrated in this manuscript, but also to produce a diversity of functional group arrangements. © 2013 American Chemical Society.This work was financially supported by the MINECO (Projects MAT2010-17016, MAT2010-21088-C03-01, and COST Action MP0904 SIMUFER).
