  text: The utilization and preparation of functional hybrid films for optical sensing
    applications and membranes is of utmost importance. In this work, we report the
    convenient and scalable preparation of self-crosslinking particle-based films
    derived by directed self-assembly of alkoxysilane-based cross-linkers as part
    of a core-shell particle architecture. The synthesis of well-designed monodisperse
    core-shell particles by emulsion polymerization is the basic prerequisite for
    subsequent particle processing via the melt-shear organization technique. In more
    detail, the core particles consist of polystyrene (PS) or poly(methyl methacrylate)
    (PMMA), while the comparably soft particle shell consists of poly(ethyl acrylate)
    (PEA) and different alkoxysilane-based poly(methacrylate)s. For hybrid film formation
    and convenient self-cross-linking, different alkyl groups at the siloxane moieties
    were investigated in detail by solid-state Magic-Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic
    Resonance (MAS, NMR) spectroscopy revealing different crosslinking capabilities,
    which strongly influence the properties of the core or shell particle films with
    respect to transparency and iridescent reflection colors. Furthermore, solid-state
    NMR spectroscopy and investigation of the thermal properties by differential scanning
    calorimetry (DSC) measurements allow for insights into the cross-linking capabilities
    prior to and after synthesis, as well as after the thermally and pressure-induced
    processing steps. Subsequently, free-standing and self-crosslinked particle-based
    films featuring excellent particle order are obtained by application of the melt-shear
    organization technique, as shown by microscopy (TEM, SEM).
