Abstract

The aim of this study was to obtain a hybrid material based on a polymer photonic crystal core and inorganic ZnO shell with potential applications in optoelectronic devices or photocatalysts. For this reason, ZnO particles were obtained both in the absence and presence of ST–AA particles using a chemical reduction method for metal salts. The inhibited growth mechanism of inorganic particles generated in the presence of polymer latex was noticed. The products were characterized by SEM, EDX, TEM, DLS, and UV–vis.
