Abstract

The synthesis and use of synthetic opal as both two and three dimensional nanotemplates to create other nanostructures are discussed. A silicon rubber inverse opal was synthesized by infiltrating a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) opal with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) prepolymer. The use of inverse opal as a relatively high surface area material in which a liquid can flow through the mesoporous structure in a microcolumn is also investigated.
