Photonic multilayer sensors from photo-crosslinkable polymer films.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Colorimetric temperature sensors are prepared from photo-crosslinkable polymers by sequentially spin-coating and crosslinking alternating layers of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and poly(para-methyl styrene). Layer thicknesses and copolymer chemistries are chosen to provide robust colorimetric temperature sensors that cover nearly the full visible spectrum.

Photo-responsive photonic crystals for broad wavelength shifts.
A facile method to realize photo-responsive inverse opal photonic crystal polymer (IOPP) films with an adjustable broad-wavelength-range photonic band gap (PBG) was demonstrated in this communication. When immersing the IOPP film in malachite green carbinol base (MGCB) solution, under light irradiation, the MGCB released hydroxide ions. In this way, optical signals were converted to chemical si...
متن کاملNon-Vacuum Processed Polymer Composite Antireflection Coating Films for Silicon Solar Cells
A non-vacuum processing method for preparing polymer-based ZrO2/TiO2 multilayer structure antireflection coating (ARC) films for crystalline silicon solar cells by spin coating is introduced. Initially, ZrO2, TiO2 and surface deactivated-TiO2 (SD-TiO2) based films were examined separately and the effect of photocatalytic properties of TiO2 film on the reflectivity on silicon surface was investi...
متن کاملAn Evaporative Co-assembly Method for Highly-Ordered Inverse Opal Films
Colloidal self-assembly holds promise for photonic applications as a solution-based, low-cost alternative to top-down photolithography, if significant control of uniformity and defects can be achieved. Herein we demonstrate a new evaporative co-assembly method for highly-uniform inverse opal thin films that involves the self-assembly of polymer colloids in a solution containing a silicate precu...
متن کاملPolymer replicas of photonic porous silicon for sensing and drug delivery applications.
Elaborate one-dimensional photonic crystals are constructed from a variety of organic and biopolymers, which can be dissolved or melted, by templating the solution-cast or injection-molded materials in porous silicon or porous silicon dioxide multilayer (rugate dielectric mirror) structures. After the removal of the template by chemical dissolution, the polymer castings replicate the photonic f...
متن کاملLow-Temperature Fabrication of Mesoporous Titanium Dioxide Thin Films with Tunable Refractive Indices for One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals and Sensors on Rigid and Flexible Substrates.
Highly transparent mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO2; anatase) thin films were prepared at room temperature via ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of hybrid polymer-TiO2 nanoparticle thin films. This approach utilized a UV-curable polymer in conjunction with the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 to form and degrade the organic component of the composite films in one step, producing films with well-cont...
