Colloidal crystals of monodisperse fluoro-nanoparticles by aqueous polymerization-induced self-assembly.

Here, we prepared monodisperse fluorinated nanospheres with the diameter regulated from 100 to 200 nm and PDI of the diameter lower than 0.05 via polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). Mono/multilayered 2D and large-scale ordered 3D lattices were formed by solvent evaporation-induced colloidal self-assembly. This work shows the promising application of PISA in colloidal self-assembly.
