We propose a self-similar assembly to generate planar orientation of megamolecular polysaccharides on the nanometer scale and submicron scale. Evaporating the aqueous liquid crystalline (LC) solution on a planar air-LC interface induces polymer layering by self-assembly and rational action of macroscopic capillary forces between the layers. To clarify the mechanisms of nanometer- and submicron-scale layering, the polymer films are investigated by electron microscopy.
我们提出了一种自相似组装方法，以在纳米和亚微米尺度上生成大分子量多糖的平面取向。在平面空气-液晶界面上蒸发各向同性液晶溶液，通过自组装和层间宏观毛细作用力的合理作用，诱导聚合物分层。为了阐明纳米和亚微米分层的机制，我们通过电子显微镜研究了聚合物薄膜。
