Abstract

The incorporation of monodisperse, polymer-modified silica into poly(methyl metharylate) to prepare polymer films containing particle array structure was investigated. The preparation was carried out by a two-step radical polymerization for gelation and solidification. The colloidal crystallization of poly(methyl metharylate)-modified silica, in 78 nm size, in acetonitrile and successive copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and 1,2-dimethacryloylethane by UV light irradiation gave the polymer gel containing the colloidal crystal structure. The exchange of acetonitrile in the gel with methyl methacrylate and further photo-radical polymerization gave the durable polymer film composed of silica particle array.
