N2 - Based on the combination of the unique features of both polyionic liquids and spherical colloidal crystals, a new class of inverse opaline spheres with a series of distinct properties was fabricated. It was found that such photonic spheres could not only be used as stimuli-responsive photonic microgels, but also serve as multifunctional microspheres that mimic the main characteristics of conventional molecules, including intrinsic optical properties, specific molecular recognition, reactivity and derivatization, and anisotropy. Broad spectrum: Based on the combination of the unique features of both polyionic liquids and spherical colloidal crystals, a new class of optical spheres with a series of distinct properties was fabricated. Such photonic spheres could not only be used as stimuli-responsive photonic microgels, but also serve as functional microspheres that mimic the main characteristics of small molecules, including intrinsic optical properties, specific molecular recognition, reactivity and derivatization, and anisotropy.
