Gel immobilization of centimeter-sized and uniform colloidal crystals formed under temperature gradient

We report the fabrication of large and high-quality charged colloidal crystals that are incorporated in a polymer hydrogel matrix. The colloidal crystals are prepared by the thermally induced unidirectional crystallization of colloidal silica in coexistence with pyridine, whose dissociation degree i...
