- *Abstract
-
BackgroundThe innovator's approach to forming photonic crystals has an advantage over other means (lithographic and layer by layer growth) in that CCA are inherently three-dimensional and can self-assemble as large single crystals.TechnologyThe innovator has formed a novel crystalline colloidal array (CCA) that diffracts light throughout the visible spectral region for light. These CCA can be solidified and particles made from this photonic crystal will diffract away light.ApplicationWork in conjunction with highly scattering titanium dioxide materials in paints and coatings because the novel creation has the potential to enhance light scattering properties AdvantagesEfficiently diffracts light over the entire visible spectral regionsStage of DevelopmentPrototypeInvention StatusNon-provisional Patent Application Filed
