dc.description.abstract | High quality opal-like photonic crystals containing graphene are fabricated using
evaporation-driven self-assembly of soft polymer colloids. A miniscule amount
of pristine graphene within a colloidal crystal lattice results in the formation of
colloidal crystals with a strong angle-dependent structural color and a stop band
that can be reversibly shifted across the visible spectrum. The crystals can be
mechanically deformed or can reversibly change color as a function of their tem-
perature, hence their sensitive mechanochromic and thermochromic response
make them attractive candidates for a wide range of visual sensing applications.
In particular, it is shown that the crystals are excellent candidates for visual
strain sensors or integrated time-temperature indicators which act over large
temperature windows. Given the versatility of these crystals, this method repre-
sents a simple, inexpensive, and scalable approach to produce multifunctional
graphene infused synthetic opals and opens up exciting applications for novel
solution-processable nanomaterial based photonics. | en |
