Thermally Tunable Metallodielectric Photonic Crystals from the Self‐Assembly of Brush Block Copolymers and Gold Nanoparticles

A robust strategy for the rapid and scalable fabrication of well-ordered metallodielectric 1D photonic crystals through the self-assembly of brush block copolymers and gold nanoparticles is demonstrated. The optical properties of the photonic crystals containing ultrahigh loadings of the gold nanoparticles are thermally tunable through the creation of a network structure of the nanoparticles.
