Abstract

Control of the pore size and connectivity of micro-sphere colloidal crystal lattices has been achieved by a layer-by-layer growth of silica using atmospheric pressure room temperature chemical vapour deposition of silica, a method which largely increases the mechanical stability of the lattice without disrupting its long range order.
