This article presents an overview of current research activities that center on monodispersed
colloidal spheres whose diameter falls anywhere in the range of 10 nm to 1 μm. It is …

Photonic crystals (PhCs) have set up a new trend in optical materials thanks to their potential
to control the propagation of light in the linear and nonlinear regimes. These properties can …

This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and
nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and …

In this work, monodisperse polydopamine (PDA) spheres with tunable diameters have been
synthesized through a facile and low cost method using a deionized water and alcohol …

Emulsion polymerization is the most widely used synthetic technique for fabricating
polymeric particles. The interfacial tension generated with this technique limits the ability to …

This paper discusses the potential use of non‐spherical colloids (see Figure) as the building
blocks in self‐assembly to fabricate three‐dimensional photonic crystals with bandgaps …

Templated electrodeposition of gold to produce thin (< 1μm) films containing a close packed
hexagonal array of uniform sphere segment voids is shown to give surfaces which show …

The aqueous methanol/ethanol/n-propyl systems have been exploited as dispersion
medium in emulsion polymerizing of polystyrene (PS) using sodium lauryl sulfate and …

This work reviews the publications concerning the use of polymerizable surfactants
(surfmers) in heterophase polymeriza‐tion in terms of the mechanisms relevant to the …

Homogenously zinc oxide (ZnO)-dispersed polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) composite
microspheres were produced considering the interfacial characteristics of ZnO and PMMA in …
