Abstract
Summary: This paper reports for the first time on the fabrication of honeycomb‐patterned cellulose films by casting water in oil emulsion of cellulose acetate onto a glass substrate and subsequent deacetylation treatment. The honeycomb pore size could be controlled from 1 to 100 μm under a saturated water vapor condition. Both cellulose and cellulose acetate films with honeycomb‐pattern are expected to be a two‐dimensional model of plant cell walls as well as of micro‐wells for single cell cultivation.

## Abstract **Summary:** The fabrication of honeycomb‐patterned films from PEK‐C in a humid atmosphere is reported. Some governing factors, such as the concentrations of the polymer solutions, the atmosphere humidity, and the volatility of the solvents, are tested. Moreover, by using PEK‐C, PLEG, a
