Abstract

Polyhedron particles exhibit unique physical properties in constructing novel materials. Here, the polystyrene (PS) polyhedron particles were fabricated via dispersion polymerization, and their morphologies can be controlled by tuning the divinylbenzene (DVB) content and polarity of the reaction medium. The possible formation mechanism is the asymmetric distribution of cross-linked networks during the phase separation process. In addition, the large-scale iridescent structural colors based on polyhedrons were obtained and further explored their applications in smart displays. This presented method guides the fabrication of anisotropic particles and their further assembly to construct novel materials.
