<p>It is an object of the present invention to provide a silica nanoparticle structure and a process for producing the same, which allow silica nanoparticles to be order-controlled to thereby make it possible to extend the application field of the silica nanoparticles ever more markedly. Silica nanoparticle structure components 2 can be prepared in which the silica nanoparticles 3 conventionally staying dispersed in a colloid solution can be converted into one-dimensionally ordered ones, and then adjacent silica nanoparticles are so firmly coupled as to be unable to disperse even if external force is applied thereto. Thus, the silica nanoparticles 3 become available for a variety of applications with the silica nanoparticles 3, conventionally staying dispersed in a colloid solution, order-controlled. Hence, the silica nanoparticle structure 1 can be provided which can extend the application field of the silica nanoparticles 3 still more markedly.</p> |
