Abstract

In this study, inverse opal films were prepared with titania hybrid film of a large refractive index, aiming at creating photonic crystals with a complete photonic bandgap. Photosensitive titania hybrid materials were prepared from titanium tetraisopropoxyde (TTIP), β-diketone, and organic monomer by sol-gel method. The reflective index of titania hybrid coating was estimated as more than 1.70. The titania-polystyrene opal film was fabricated by infiltrating hybrid coating sol into polystyrene opals prepared in advance. Titania inverse opals were fabricated by dissolving polystyrene from the titania-polystyrene opal film with solvent.
