Abstract: The colors of photonic crystals are based on their periodic crystalline structure. They show clear advantages over conventional chromophores for many applications, mainly due to their anti-photobleaching and responsiveness to stimuli. More specifically, combining colloidal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsmacrolett.7b00780
Abstract: A thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) circular gel film containing single-crystalline colloidal crystals was prepared, and the circular edge was pinched with washers to restrain the in-plane shrinkage of the gel film. Upon heating, the film shrunk… read more here.
