“…The colorimetric response of CBPM sensors based on soft stimuli-responsive materials can originate from changes in both the periodicity and the refractive indices of its constituents, as shown in Figure 17C. Examples of soft materials used for CBPM sensors include hydrogels, 178 [287][288][289] and metal-organic frameworks. 290,291 Stimuli-induced shifts in the periodicity of these types of CBPM sensors can be induced by swelling or deformation that in turn results in the shift in the photonic stopband ( Figure 16B,i) and can be detected visually or using a spectrometer.…”

“…In addition to multiple analyte sensing, hierarchy can be achieved using superparticles, which have been used as dispersible indicators for various stimuli. For example, spherical inverse opal superparticles based on poly(ionic liquids) were used for recognition of various ions and solvents, 288,289 and protein-modified silica superparticles were used as coding carriers in multiplex immunoassays. 325 Additionally, the high surface area of the pores can be used for adsorption and triggered release of drugs in addition to sensing.…”

Nature evolved a variety of hierarchical structures that produce sophisticated functions. Inspired by these natural materials, colloidal self-assembly provides a convenient way to produce structures from simple building blocks with a variety of complex functions beyond those found in nature. In particular, colloid-based porous materials (CBPM) can be made from a wide variety of materials. The internal structure of CBPM also has several key attributes, namely porosity on a sub-micrometer length scale, interconnectivity of these pores, and a controllable degree of order. The combination of structure and composition allow CBPM to attain properties important for modern applications such as photonic inks, colorimetric sensors, self-cleaning surfaces, water purification systems, or batteries. This review summarizes recent developments in the field of CBPM, including principles for their design, fabrication, and applications, with a particular focus on structural features and materials' properties that enable these applications. We begin with a short introduction to the wide variety of patterns that can be generated by colloidal self-assembly and templating processes. We then discuss different applications of such structures, focusing on optics, wetting, sensing, catalysis, and electrodes. Different fields of applications require different properties, yet the modularity of the assembly process of CBPM provides a high degree of tunability and tailorability in composition and structure. We examine the significance of properties such as structure, composition, and degree of order on the materials' functions and use, as well as trends in and future directions for the development of CBPM.

“…Particularly, polymer colloidal PCs have demonstrated important applications ranging from photonic papers [8], full-color displays [9] and UV protection [10], to responsive optic devices. Various fabrication methods for colloidal PCs have been developed to meet practical application requirements [11][12][13]. Self-assembly is a facile approach for the fabrication of colloidal PCs with stopband at UV and visible ranges [14], and could be easily modified for widespread manufacturing purposes.…”

Abstract:A facile fabrication of photonic crystals (PCs) with an eye pattern similar to peacock tail feathers has been demonstrated by self-assembly of colloidal particles in a sandwich mode. The sandwich mode is formed by superhydrophilic flat substrate sandwiching the poly(styrene-methyl methacrylate-arylic acid) (Poly(St-MMA-AA)) latex suspension (2 wt%) by the hydrophobic one. The patterns are characterized by optical microscopy images, reflection spectra, and the relative scanning electronic microscope images. This work will provide beneficial help for the understanding of the self-assembly process of colloidal crystals.

“…After contact printing the anion or solution as chemical "ink", the shifted optical signal of the PIL-IOMS was obtained for principal component analysis. [ 95 ] Aizenberg et al developed a method for patterning multiple chemical functionalities on inverse opal PCs by repeated exposing the fi lm to oxygen plasma and different alkylchlorosilane vapors with masks. [ 96 ] Due to the different area-specifi c wetting properties, the fi lm displayed distinct optical patterns when immersed in the common solvents, which results in a special solvent-analysis chip.…”

With facile manufacturability and modifiability, impressive nanoparticles (NPs) assembly applications were performed for functional patterned devices, which have attracted booming research attention due to their increasing applications in high-performance optical/electrical devices for sensing, electronics, displays, and catalysis. By virtue of easy and direct fabrication to desired patterns, high throughput, and low cost, NPs assembly printing is one of the most promising candidates for the manufacturing of functional micro-chips. In this review, an overview of the fabrications and applications of NPs patterned assembly by printing methods, including inkjet printing, lithography, imprinting, and extended printing techniques is presented. The assembly processes and mechanisms on various substrates with distinct wettabilities are deeply discussed and summarized. Via manipulating the droplet three phase contact line (TCL) pinning or slipping, the NPs contracted in ink are controllably assembled following the TCL, and generate novel functional chips and correlative integrate devices. Finally, the perspective of future developments and challenges is presented and widely exhibited.
