photonic crystal
1. crystals and a highly hydrophobic microfluidic assembly
is a photonic crystal having a periodic dielectric structure and artificially designed and manufactured crystalline photonic bandgap. However, the presence of a single species of synthetic photonic crystal material and production method, the conventional photonic crystal film mainly polystyrene (PS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and silica (SiO2) is assembled, since they It has a high deposition temperature and to build a weak force acting between the assembly units, so that the photonic crystal film susceptible to cracking, color saturation difference , causing it to increase in fluorescence inefficient . Therefore, how to develop high-quality photonic crystal materials become one of the challenging issues in this area. Professor Chen Su developed a research group P (t-BA) A new method a highly hydrophobic photonic crystal , prepared using polymeric microspheres hydrophobic monomer, its inherent hydrophobic high driving force can be assembled photonic crystal material, the photonic crystal film is difficult to solve the large-area construction, and easy to enhance the efficiency of low fluorescence cracking problems. Found a low glass transition temperature of the soft monomers: t-butyl acrylate monomer (t-BA, Tg = 43 ℃), P (t-BA) was prepared by the emulsion polymerization method is not an emulsion. Since P (t-BA) moleculeHydrophobic chain having a t-butyl group, a hydrophobic group in the P (t-BA) latex can be provided during the assembly of the driving force of one hydrophobic self-assembly, thereby inducing P (t-BA) having a photonic crystal film does not crack large, bright structural color having excellent hydrophobicity and . Meanwhile, the photonic crystal film with a high efficiency of fluorescence enhancement (up to 10-fold increase in fluorescence efficiency) . Furthermore, clever use of microfluidic technology microspheres and photonic crystals Janus microspheres in the magnetic field induced microfluidic assembly and constructed and applied magnetic display device.
