Abstract

Changes of particle array structure with particle volume fraction during immobilization of colloidal crystals, formed by poly(methyl methacrylate)-grafted silica in acetonitrile, were investigated. Immobilization of colloidal crystals formed in acetonitrile was carried out by two-step photo-radical copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and ethylene dimethacrylate to make organogel, followed by solidification after exchanging the solvent with methyl methacrylate. Crystallite size in colloidal crystals formed in acetonitrile was mostly unchanged with particle volume fraction in the range of 0.11–0.18, while the size and number of single crystals decreased during gelation. Disordering in particle array in immobilized colloidal crystals in gel and poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix was observed to decrease with increasing particle volume fraction less than 0.18 due to strong electrostatic repulsion between particles.
