  title_type: original

## Description

- description: 'Structural colors derived from colloidal crystals are gaining attention
    as new color materials that are non-toxic and minimize environmental pollution.
    Vivid structural colors were formed by coating glass and ceramics with a colloidal
    crystal (opal) thin film composed of silica particles. This paper focuses on reporting
    this thin film formation process. A milky-white suspension of silica particles
    (particle size 290 nm) precisely arranged on the substrate surface exhibited vivid
    red structural color after drying. The dip coating is not limited to flat substrates
    like glazed ceramics or glass; it is versatile and can be applied to curved surfaces,
    uneven surfaces, and even rough, unglazed ceramic surfaces. Optical evaluation
    utilized reflectance spectra. By employing silica opal films with varying particle
    sizes, diverse colors spanning the entire visible spectrum from blue to red were
    achieved. Furthermore, through heat treatment and modification to create a hydrophobic
    surface, stable structural color emission was enabled, preventing loss of color
    due to abrasion or wetting. '
