Abstract
Monodispersed colloidal spheres with dimensions in the range of 100 nm to 10 µm can be used as building blocks to fabricate highly ordered 3D micro- and nanostructures. For example, they can be self-assembled into closely packed lattices, which can be subsequently used as templates to generate 3D porous structures. Here we present the recent progress in our group regarding this approach.
