Large-Scale Fabrication of Ordered Monolayer Self-assembly of Polystyrene Submicron Spheres

Fabrication of ordered array and its applications have emerged as a critical tool for micro-structure, with which generally apply in sensing, wastewater detecting, and field emission. This review focuses on the fabrication of ordered patterned array polystyrene (PS) submicron particles monolayer as well as its effect factors. Substantial progress in the two dimensional (2D) regular patterned array has made by developing variety of method. One effective method of fabricating PS submicron spheres with full regular patterned, aligned monolayer ordered array is discussed in this paper and SEM was used to characterize the performance of the monolayer. This approach opens the simplicity and convenience of creating patterned two-dimensional nanostructure. Its greatest advantage is that suitable for large particle size spheres, Finally, the development tendency and prospect of in theses research areas are outlined.
