Abstract :
Fabrication of 3-D PBGM is a four stage process: the synthesis of monodisperse spherical particles, their self-assembly to form a template, infiltration of materials of interest and removal of template. The template was formed on a substrate by the self-assembly or electrophoretic deposition of silica into a FCC structure. Infiltrations of interstitial spaces were tried by sputtering and by in situ chemical reactions.
