Evaporation-Driven Assembly as a Route to Photonic Materials
… structure-dependent diffraction properties of photonic crystals have inspired their proposed use in applications ranging from chemosensors, to solar power applications, to optical computing devices. The range of proposed applications for photonic crystals demands a range of techniques for …

The confined self-assembly of photonic pigments: from synthetic polymer brushes to sustainable cellulosic colloids
… bright and vivid colours using nanostructured materials. Such structurally coloured materials are readily found in nature, from insects to plants, yet they are challenging to fabricate artificially on a large scale. In this thesis, I present a series of examples of exploiting the self-assembly …

Design and Characterisation of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Materials for Luminescence Downshifting Devices
… matrix is commonly composed of organic polymeric materials; however, these can suffer from poor processability and durability to long-term UV exposure. An alternative to this is the use of hybrid organic-inorganic materials, which owing to their combined inorganic and organic components show …

Bottlebrush block copolymers for photonic materials
… to be an effective route for the fabrication of photonic films and, more recently, photonic pigments. However, despite extensive research on this topic over the past two decades, the palette of monomers and polymers employed to produce such structurally coloured materials has remained …

Chiral self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals for photonic films
… blocks offers a scalable route to functional materials, but understanding how the properties of the large-scale structure emerge from the behaviour of individual sub-units is a persistent challenge. A notable example is the self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) into nanostructured …
