Abstract

This presentation describes a simple and practical method for self-assembling meso- and nanoparticles into three-dimensionally ordered lattices (opals) over large areas, and the use of these lattices as templates in fabricating highly ordered porous structures such as inverse opals. This method has been applied to a variety of colloidal particles, including silica colloids and polymer beads with diameters in the range of˜50 nm to ˜50 μm. Templating against the 3D opaline lattices provides an effective route to inorganic-organic composite materials and inverse opals having 3D periodic structures.
