Abstract:

Polymer-immobilized crystalline colloidal array(PCCA) films composed of polyacrylamide were fabricated by photoinitiated polymerization based on crystalline colloidal arrays composed of monodisperse polystyrene(PS) particles. The stress-sensitive optical property of PCCA film was investigated by micro-region reflectivity spectrometer under a series of loads. It was revealed that an acute peak can be found in the reflectivity spectrum of PCCA film, which was corresponding to the photonic bandgap of the film, and the midgap wavelength shifted approximately linearly and reversibly with load.
