One-step self-assembly of magnetic nanoparticles with amphiphilic copolymer for construction of magnetically responsive photonic crystals based on steric hindrance.
Magnetically guided self-assembly of nanoparticles is a promising bottom-up method to fabricate novel materials and superstructures, such as, for example, magnetic nanoparticle clusters for biomedical applications. The existence of assembled...
This is the first time that a hydrogel interface has been used as an assembly interface for the self-assembly of photonic crystals with excellent performances.
