--- _id: '64039' abstract: - lang: eng text: The preparation of hierarchical and sophisticated particle architectures for mimicking structural colors known from nature still remains a challenge. In this study, the preparation of novel opal and double-inverse opal films based on thermally treated metallopolymer core particles with a silica shell is described. Thermal treatment leads to the formation of magnetic nanorattle-type particles. The main challenge of artificial particles is to ensure sufficient dispersibility after several synthetic steps. Especially silica particles providing surface hydroxyl groups tend to sinter at high temperatures leading to agglomeration. We present the introduction of trimethyl ethoxy silane (TMES) as an excellent functionalization reagent as the key reaction step. The necessity and success of functionalization are investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and zeta potential measurements. Importantly, solid state NMR techniques are employed to gain deeper insights into the chemical structure of the surface-attached reagent. Finally, by this convenient functionalization the preparation of elastomeric opal films and double-inverse opal films is proven successful revealing excellent optical film properties. Moreover, magnetic properties of these novel films are investigated by using magnetic force microscopy (MFM). The herein established route is expected to pave the way for the preparation of a variety of advanced and stimuli-responsive optical materials. author: - first_name: D. full_name: Scheid, D. last_name: Scheid - first_name: D. full_name: Stock, D. last_name: Stock - first_name: T. full_name: Winter, T. last_name: Winter - first_name: Torsten full_name: Gutmann, Torsten id: '118165' last_name: Gutmann - first_name: C. full_name: Dietz, C. last_name: Dietz - first_name: M. full_name: Gallei, M. last_name: Gallei citation: ama: Scheid D, Stock D, Winter T, Gutmann T, Dietz C, Gallei M.

A SAM program is a set of interacting agents synchronously exchanging messages. The agent's behaviour is specified by means of production rules with a condition and a sequence of actions each. Actions are linearly ordered and execute when matching a rule. In SAM, main syntactic objects like agents, rules, and messages are 3D. These objects can have an abstract and a concrete, solid 3D presentation. While the abstract representation is for programming and debugging, the concrete representation is for animated 3D end-user presentations. After outlining the concepts of SAM this article gives two programming examples of 3D micro worlds and an overview of the programming environment. author: - first_name: Christian full_name: Geiger, Christian last_name: Geiger - first_name: Wolfgang full_name: Müller, Wolfgang id: '16243' last_name: Müller - first_name: W. full_name: Rosenbach, W. last_name: Rosenbach citation: ama: 'Geiger C, Müller W, Rosenbach W.
