Fabrication of Polyaniline Inverse Opals via Templating Ordered Colloidal Assemblies

Abstract: Attractive new materials for 3D photonic bandgap crystalsare synthesized by polymerizing aniline in the voids between polystyrene (PS) spheres (see Figure). When the PS is depolymerized, a 3D polyaniline (PANI) lattice and channel sizes with inverse opal properties remain. Distances between the pores can be tailored by the choice of the experimental conditions.

“…Lithographic and etching techniques, in principle, make it possible to engineer structures and defects in detail, as well as to attain sufficient dielectric contrast, but achievement of small structures down to the optical length scale is challenging. On the other hand, spontaneous assemblies allow formation of small enough structures based on colloids [5,6], synthetic opals [7][8][9][10][11], inverted opals [7,[12][13][14][15][16], and block copolymers [17][18][19][20][21][22]. In such cases, although the organization leads to a welldefined local order, it is nontrivial to achieve perfectly ora e-mail: g.ten.Brinke@chem.rug.nl b e-mail: Olli.Ikkala@hut.fi dered structures over the macroscopic length scale, which, in addition should contain carefully engineered defects for "light channels".…”
