Honeycomb‐Patterned Photoluminescent Films Fabricated by Self‐Assembly of Hyperbranched Polymers

Abstract

A film to dye for: Honeycomb-patterned films have been fabricated by the self-assembly of amphiphilic hyperbranched poly(amidoamine) on solid substrates. The film thickness can be varied from the nanometer to micrometer scale simply by changing the concentration of the polymer solution. Luminescent films of different colors can be prepared by encapsulating various dyes into the polymer (see picture, R=(CH2)14CH3, red sphere=dye molecule).
