Colloidal crystals formed by polymer-grafted silica particles were immobilized by a stepwise procedure consisting of gelation by radical copolymerization followed by solidification by ring-opening radical polymerization. In the first step, the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMAIA)-grafted silica colloidal crystal suspension was incorporated into the gel without altering the crystal structure by copolymerization of cross-linker, 1,2-dimethylacryloyloxyethane (DME) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). In the second step, ring-opening radical polymerization was performed after substituting the solvent with vinylidene-1,3-dioxolane. By this two-step procedure, the silica particle array of colloidal crystals was immobilized and made into durable material.
