Abstract
A facile method for fabricating high-quality polystyrene template was reported, the optimal assembly was obtained by controlling deposition temperature and polystyrene latex concentration, which ensures a large force perpendicular to the substrate capable of overcoming thermal fluctuations and pushing particles into the substrate, leading to highly efficient assembly. The assembly mechanism is that the interfacial capillary force present during the evaporation of polystyrene latex. By silver-mirror reaction, Ag copy the polystyrene template, an inverted polystyrene template structure, that is silver nano-cavity array structure was obtained. Our results demonstrate that two-dimensional highly ordered silver nano-cavity can be formed by the chemical bath deposition method, two complementary micro-structures were generated during the self-assembly process, as indicated by the SEM images.
