Star pores! Star and block polymer architectures are made using living radical polymerization. Isoporous honeycomb films (see scanning electron microscope image) are cast under humid conditions from solutions of these macromolecules. The pore diameter is shown to be dependent not only on the casting conditions but on the specific molecular architecture and molecular weight of the polymers.
