Abstract
A novel approach for fabricating uniform two-dimensional (2D) colloidal ordered arrays of particles on a variety of substrates was developed. The combination of confining the colloid evaporation local along with applying a compressive hydrostatic force while drying, has led to the formation of highly-ordered 2D crystalline arrays of polystyrene or silica particles organized into areas up to 1 cm2.
