Summary

The ability of colloids to self-organize is not only a fascinating natural phenomenon, but is also used in many technical applications today. For example, colloidal crystals are used in the development of battery electrodes and catalyst carriers. Polymer colloids are often used, which require moderate temperatures for all process steps. Cold plasmas, for example dielectric barrier discharges (DBE), are therefore suitable for the further processing of colloidal crystals. This work addresses three interrelated issues in the field of colloidal crystals, which have in common that the solution approaches are based on the use of DBE.
