## Abstract The unique combination of fluidity and birefringence that is characteristic for liquid crystals is quite suitable in order to tune the optical properties of photonic crystals. Here, some experimental examples are reviewed where colloidal crystals (artificial opals and inverse opals), tw

We have developed emulsifier-free, emulsion polymerization recipes for the synthesis of highly charged, monodisperse latex particles of diameters between 500 and 1100 nm. These latexes consist of poly[styrene-(co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)] spherical particles whose surfaces are functionalized wit
