Several types of metal-polymer hybrid films were prepared by electroless plating of self-organized honeycomb-patterned polymer films. The polystyrene honeycomb film was fabricated by a template method of hexagonally ordered condensed water droplets, and composed of a micrometric porous array and nanometric pillar structures that hold top and bottom porous layers together. Chemical adhesion of palladium catalysts for nickel electroless plating was controlled by difference of wettability of the honeycomb structures. After electroless plating and peeling off the top layer of the honeycomb film, various kinds of the metal-polymer hybrid films such as metal-coated honeycomb-patterned polymer films, metal-coated pillar-structured polymer films, ring-like-structured metal in the honeycomb-patterned polymer film, ball-like-structured metal array in the honeycomb-patterned polymer film, and dome-like-structured metal in the pillar-structured polymer film were obtained.
