of crystallization. In the area of application, apart from the fabrication of photonic
devices, sensor, and tunable lasers, colloidal crystallization has been now applied to
mimic the structural colors and double reflection on silk fabrics, which will exert a
significant impact on textile, personal care, and fashion industries.
