This paper describes synthesis and properties of polymer opals with a special emphasis on functional opals. Polymer opals are formed from monodisperse polymer colloids by self-assembly. Their potential applications range from coloring pigments, 3D bicontinuous supports for catalysis to photonic materials. This latter application requires especially the controlled creation of defects and the incorporation of fluorescent materials. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
