Abstract
A facile method is demonstrated for bonding assembled colloids without loss of colloidal stability by thermal annealing. Examples include both close-packed and non-close-packed structures. The confocal microscopy image shows a cross-section of a 3D labyrinthine structure after it was made permanent. The 3D network is completely preserved after the annealing step.Keywords: 3D assembled structures; bonding colloids; electric fields; non-close-packed structures; self-assembly
