Ultrafast Fabrication of Large‐Area Colloidal Crystal Micropatterns via Self‐Assembly and Transfer Printing (Adv. Funct. Mater. 45/2022)

Colloidal Crystal Micropatterns In article number 2205462, Wang and co-workers report a surface tension gradient-driven self-assembly strategy for the ultrafast fabrication of large-area colloidal crystals. Inspired by ink microprinting, the nanoparticle transfer printing method is further proposed to convert the close-packed nanoparticle monolayers into high-resolution conformal micropatterns. This user-friendly, efficient self-assembly and micropatterning strategy provide promising opportunities for various academic and real industrial applications.
