Droplets containing polymer particles were deposited on a substrate. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel and particles with PNIPAM graft chains on the surface self-assembled into a two-dimensional (2-D) superlattice when their dilute dispersions were dried on substrates. The capillary force between the particles induced ordered array formation during water evaporation. The presence of a PNIPAM layer on the particle surface gave the particles steric stability during ordered array formation. By grafting PNIPAM chains on particle surfaces by living radical polymerization, we successfully controlled the structural patterns of the colloidal arrays. These, controllable, 2-D colloidal arrays were generated on various substrates upon air-drying.
