abstract = {Packing of soft spheres, such as micelles, polymer-grafted
particles, and microgels, enables the creation of diverse
functional materials. Despite the importance of achieving
precise structural control, understanding the kinetics of
non-equilibrium packing in a large-scale deposition process
remains challenging. This study investigates the kinetics of
the precursor-assisted close packing of soft spheres using
block copolymer micelles as the sphere model. Adding the
inorganic precursor SnCl4 is crucial for achieving the close
packing, which is versatile and provides a robust platform
for tailoring mesoporous materials with tunable pore sizes.
The kinetics of the close-packing process are explored by in
situ grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering
measurements during slot-die coating. The soft
crystallization process shows six distinct stages: dilute
dispersion, concentrated dispersion, wet film, structuring
wet film, gel film, and glassy film. The close packing
develops first in the in-plane direction with rapid domain
growth and then advances in the out-of-plane direction.
Precursors in the interstitial voids play a key role by
mitigating packing frustration and favoring face-centered
cubic (FCC) ordering. The structure finally stabilizes into
a well-ordered FCC structure with large domain sizes. The
derived mesoporous SnO2 features semiconducting properties
and enhanced pore connectivity, thus showing superior gas
sensing performance toward ethanol.},
