Parental Investment and Male Ornamentation in the Eastern Bluebird (Sialis Sialis)
Bright plumage coloration in most birds is thought to be a product of sexual selection. Brighter, more-ornamented males are preferred by females because their plumage conveys information regarding the quality of the individual. One measure of male quality is willingness to invest in offspring. In …

Mercury's Effects on Feather Color and Fitness of Eastern Bluebirds
… were also taken to measure mercury's effects on structural coloration. This is the first study to show that mercury in feathers may impact plumage coloration through three possible mechanisms: (1) binding to the sulfide bonds in keratin causing a change in the regular spacing that produces the …

Advanced transfer printing methods and their applications to functional surfaces
… patterned inks with dual functionality such as structural coloration or superhydrophobicity paired with external stimuli responsiveness are invented. Lastly, switchable underwater adhesive properties of a shape memory polymer that is one of common polymeric stamp materials are investigated. …

Elastomeric microsystems fabricated using transfer printing
… topography, wettability, optical transmission, structural coloration, etc. As the second example, elastomeric microsystems with tunable and broadband resonators are constructed for broadband vibration energy harvesting and self-powered motion sensing. In addition to the demonstration of …

Structural colour from a helicoidal cellulose architecture in the secondary cell wall: Optical properties, cell wall composition, structure and morphology of components, and their assembly and interactions.
Structural colours are produced by constructive interference of light scattered from periodically arranged interfaces within nanostructured materials. A common strategy of plants to achieve structural coloration consists of assembling cellulose microfibrils into helicoidal structures. Examples of …

The self-assembly of chitin nanocrystals into hierarchically structured functional materials
… helicoidal pitch values small enough to manifest structural colouration. Optical properties of such ChNC films, reported for the first time, were studied in relation to previously published works and theory to understand their low reflectance, which could be increased by an in-situ post-treatment …

Physically Realistic Rendering of Complex Materials Using Wave optics
… other wave based materials models, modeling structural coloration in biology, and potentially leveraging wave optics for inverse design problems.
