Films were prepared by coating PS templates with various layers of TiO2 using dip-coating method. The results showed that PS latexes present complete film formation on top surface of composites. After extraction of PS a well-defined interconnected porosity were obtained for thin films when TiO2 content was increased whereas thick samples did not present any interconnected porous structures above a certain TiO2 layer.
