## Abstract Colloidal photonic crystals were prepared from monodisperse core–shell particles. The shell is hereby formed from a functional monomer, such as glycidylmethacrylate or different reactive ester monomers, which can perform chemical reactions and the core from a standard monomer, which yie

✦ Synopsis
Heterocoagulation of large and small oppositely charged colloid particles, accompanied by spreading of small beads over the surface of large spheres, offers a promising alternative to synthesis of core-shell particles via interfacial polymerization. In this paper, conditions required for complete spreading of the shell-forming polymer over the surface of the core-forming material (CFM) are predicted in terms of a critical distance, x(cr), between the small particles on the surface of the CFM. The theoretical value of x(cr) is tested in experiments conducted for polypyrrole/polyacrylic and silica-titanyl sulfate/polyacrylic heterocoagulate units.

Manipulation of colloidal systems via optical trapping techniques requires a refractive index mismatch between particles and solvent which leads to strong interparticle van der Waals interactions. Investigation of the behavior of systems without such strong attractive interactions, however, requires
Depending on the particle size the light-scattering pattern exhibits minima and maxima. Because of the usual limitation in the angular resolution of the detection apparatus, the angular positions of these extrema remain fixed for intervals of values of the index of refraction of the shell, the size
A two-stage, multistep soapless emulsion polymerization was employed to prepare various sizes of reactive core-shell particles (CSPs) with butyl acrylate (BA) as the core and methyl methacrylate (MMA) copolymerizing with various concentrations of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as the shell. Ethylene gl
