摘要
This paper reports a rapid and facile method of preparing free-standing colloidal crystals from monodisperse charged polystyrene (PS) microspheres. Mixed solvents (ethanol/water) were used as the dispersion medium in the self-assembly process of colloidal crystals. By a simple "floating self-assembly" method, PS microspheres floated on the surface of liquid and self-assembled into large area of three-dimensional (3D) ordered colloidal crystals within 15 min. Then epichlorohydrin was added in as a cross-linking agent to strengthen the colloidal-crystal film. After cross-linking reactions between the microspheres, the obtained colloidal-crystal film was free-standing and could be easily transferred to other substrates. Using tetrabutyl titanate as a titania precursor, 3D porous TiO2 materials with rodlike skeletal structure were fabricated from the prepared free-standing colloidal crystal. This work provides a facile method to fabricate free-standing colloidal-crystal film, which can be used as an ideal template for the preparation of porous materials. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
