| Zusammenfassung: | Nature-inspired porous structures are highly desired in the fields of new materials, sustainable energy, biological and chemical science, and so forth. Here, a new strategy for the fabrication of continuous, gradient nanoporous polystyrene- block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS- b-P2VP) film is established. The continuous nanopore gradient along the direction of film thickness (∼120 μm) is achieved via delayed directional diffusion of dynamic binary solvent of ethanol/water and selective swelling of P2VP domains. Ethanol in binary solvent diffuses into the film from one side to another, which is retarded by the water gate as water is concentrated at the film surface. The delayed diffusion matches the swelling rate of P2VP domains, forming the continuous nanopore gradient normal to the film surface |
