An amphiphilic ethyl cellulose-g-poly(methyl methacrylate) (EC-g-PMMA) graft copolymer is synthesized and used as the template to prepare mesoporous TiO2 thin filims. By changing the solvent, a variety of morphologies such as random, worm-like, or organized structures are obtained due to controlled polymer-solvent interaction and hydrolysis rate of titanium(IV) isopropoxide (TTIP).
