Abstract :
It was shown in experiment that parametric excitation of capillary waves in a liquid polymer may give rise to spatially periodic distribution of microparticles. Particle distribution repeats the structure of the waves excited on the surface of the liquid. It was found that photopolymerization makes it possible to fix position of microparticles and produce materials with controllable spatially periodic inhomogeneities.
