Problems solved by technology

However, the three-dimensional colloidal photonic crystals prepared by these methods are basically membrane structures
In practical applications, there are two main reasons that limit the application of 3D colloidal photonic crystal films
First, some applications such as biomolecular carriers prefer a spherical shape, some anisotropic optical devices require a ring shape, etc., and thin-film colloidal photonic crystal films cannot meet the requirements
Second, the preparation of colloidal crystals through the self-assembly method of colloidal particles must be supported by a solid-phase template or substrate. The colloidal crystals are separated from the substrate or the template and are difficult to self-support or maintain their original shape. The van der Waals force is connected together, so its mechanical stability is limited, and it is easy to be damaged at the crystal defect or under the action of external force in the self-supporting state of the template.

Abstract

Disclosed is a self-assembly and preparation device of colloidal photonic crystals and the method thereof to improve the mechanical stability; the colloidal particle solution is distributed to a continuous phase and in the formation of colloidal solution droplets. Through the evaporation of the solution in the droplet, the colloidal particle in the solution is self-assembled to become the colloidal photonic crystal while the droplet is taken as a template. For the mechanical stability of the photonic crystal, the mutual cementation of the colloidal particles inside a crystal is greatly enhanced through the heat treatment. The three-dimensional colloidal photonic crystals with high mechanical stability and prepared through such a method has a potential value in the aspects of size exclusion chromatography, enzyme or zymophore, adsorption medium, bio-molecule detection carrier, filter, light switches, photonic paper and so on.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing three-dimensional colloidal photonic crystals through colloidal self-assembly using liquid droplets as templates and improving the mechanical stability of the three-dimensional colloidal photonic crystals. Background technique [0002] Colloidal crystals are a class of substances with a three-dimensional ordered structure formed by monodisperse micron or submicron inorganic or organic particles (also called colloidal particles). Since the long-range orderly arrangement of colloidal particles creates a photonic band gap in colloidal photonic crystals, it is also called colloidal photonic crystals. The three-dimensional ordered structure of colloidal photonic crystals has a repetition period on the order of micrometers and sub-micrometers. Visible light (400-700nm) can cause Bragg diffraction in it. The long-range orderly arrangement of the colloidal particles makes the colloidal photonic crystals have character...
