Improving self-assembly quality of colloidal crystal guided by statistical design of experiments |
Different dispersion media for PS spheres self-assembly: (a) ethanol, (b) water, (c) a mixture of ethanol and glycol. Other self-assembly conditions are the same for all samples: self-assembly temperature of 25 °C (room temperature), latex concentration of φ = 20 vol.%, final spin-coating speed of 3500 rpm, and spin-coating time of 30 s. |
