Abstract
Patterned two-dimensional (2D) colloidal crystals have been transferred by a modified μcp technique that was based on the use of polymer film as “glue” to provide an efficient interaction between the microsphere “ink” and substrate. The versatility of this method has been demonstrated by the patterning of colloidal crystal on a nonplanar substrate and heterogeneously structured colloidal crystal film. The table of contents graphic shows an SEM image of the ordered parallel lines of 2D colloidal crystals on a polymer-coated glass tube with a 3.7 mm radius of curvature.Keywords
