Abstract :
Mesoscopic self-organization in evaporated polymer solutions was investigated. The structure
of dried films was studied with optical and SEM microscopy. Formation of mesoscopic cells
was studied in situ with a shadowgraph technique. Intensive migration of the vapor bubbles is
an important factor in the formation of mesoscopic cells. A mechanism of mesoscopic network
formation, based on the mass transport instability in evaporated film, was proposed. The
impact of the solvent is discussed. C 2006 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.
