title: Propagation of polymer nanosheets from silica opal membrane gaps by thermal polymerization of bicontinuous microemulsions.
abstract: Unique polymer morphologies such as fractal surfaces consisting of closely-spaced nanosheets and vertically extended nanosheets were found to be formed by thermal polymerization of styrene or methyl methacrylate bicontinuous microemulsions (BME) from the gaps of a silica opal membrane.
