Nanoparticle coating : A suspension of colloidal particles in a water/propanol solution was layered onto a water surface, where the particles self‐assembled into ordered two‐dimensional hexagonal crystal arrays (>280 cm 2 ) within two minutes. These arrays were transferred from the water surface to other substrates (see picture) and embedded in a chitosan hydrogel for visual detection of the pH value.
