Abstract

The ordered honeycomb structures of poly(L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) and poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) fabricated in a humid atmosphere were reported in this paper. It was found that surfactants were important in the formation of honeycomb films of hydrophobic polymer. The affecting factors, such as the environment temperature, the atmosphere humidity, and the concentration of the polymer solution of the honeycomb porous structure, were also tested.
