Fabrication of PS-b-P2VP UPCFs
Thin polymer coatings covering on porous substrates are a common composite structure required in numerous applications, including membrane separation, and there is a strong need to push the coating thicknesses down to the nanometer scale to maximize the performances. However, producing such ultrathin polymer coatings in a facile and efficient way remains a big challenge. Here, uniform ultrathin polymer covering films (UPCFs) are realized by a facile and general approach based on rapid solvent evaporation.
