ABSTRACT
The surface morphologies of polymer films have been used to improve the performance or enable new applications of films, such as controllable adhesion, shape morphing and light management. However, complicated and destructive methods were applied to produce surface morphologies on chitosan (CS) film. To overcome this challenge, we report an evaporation-induced self-assembly to form the tunable morphologies on the surface of short-chain chitosan film by varying the evaporation rates that influence the aggregation behavior of polymer chains between order and disorder. It enables the simple, tunable and scalable fabrication of surface morphologies on CS film (CS solution concentration 2 wt%, drying from room temperature (RT) to 80 °C) that provides controllable haze (3-74 %) and high transmittance (>85 %) for the production of hazy and transparent window coatings. This simple approach to producing tunable surface morphologies could inspire the synthesis of multifunctional polymer films with different surface structures, whose applications can be extended to cell culture interfaces, flexible bioelectronic and optoelectronic devices.
