Ordered porous films have important applications in many fields such as separation

catalyze

and biomedical engineering. The breath figure (BF) method

featuring in simple

effectual and environmental

has attracted extensive attentions in the numerous film preparation methods. Scientists have devoted themselves to the performance improvement of the BF method by making porous films with new materials and techniques. According to the latest research developments

the fabrication

modification and application progress of the BF based ordered porous films is reviewed in this article.
