Abstract

The invention relates to a method of creating pores in a polymer material in sheet form or a polymer layer such as a thin film with a thickness equal to around 100 nanometers, previously deposited on a metallic base. The invention further relates to a method of creating pores in a polymer material in sheet form, such as polycarbonate or any other equivalent material, the said method making it possible to obtain porous areas with controllable sizes and shapes, these areas being distributed according to densities and locations which can also be controlled.
