Self-assembling-photonic-materials-latest-research

The self-assembly of nanoparticles is an efficient way to manufacture materials with uniform structures. Many studies to date have reported the synthesis of polymeric and metal-based particles that spontaneously self-assemble into ordered 3D superstructures. The current project is the first to work with hybrid metal-organic particles, adding a new family to the list of compounds that can be synthesized for 3D self-assembly: metal-organic frames (MOF). Until now, the formation of wells of ordered, well-packaged and functional 3D structures had never been obtained for crystalline hybrid compounds like MOFs, even if they have the same geometric properties as their metal-based counterparts. The resulting 3D superstructures, made up of several billion identical particles arranged in crystals several millimeters in diameter, exhibit properties typical of photonic crystals, a promising new material which finds applications in the manipulation of light. As such, the new structures scatter light in a way that provides color without using pigments or dyes, known as structural color. In addition, the color of the material can be changed by controlling the size and shape of the particles during synthesis.
