| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our recent advances in the preparation of fusion materials between many types of submicrometer-sized fine inorganic particles and stimuli-sensitive soft materials such as gels have introduced exciting new possibilities for developing unprecedented new materials with optical and mechanical properties. In this study, stimuli-responsive colloidal amorphous arrays displaying various angle-independent structural colors which are one these interesting new materials were studied. Similarly to humans yearning to fly like birds and eventually developing airplanes, we may be able to develop new fusion materials for optical applications; such materials may be beyond what can be synthesized in natural systems and may someday be useful for enhancing our quality of life. We look forward to the development of materials with similar exciting functions stemming from future advances in the field of materials science.
