The confined self-assembly of photonic pigments: from synthetic polymer brushes to sustainable cellulosic colloids
… for our communication, and the use of dyes and pigments in our society dates back to prehistoric times. While traditional dyes and pigments rely on chemical composition to produce colours by selective absorption and emission, it is also possible to create bright and vivid colours using …

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 …

Structural colour in marine organisms: From nature to applications
… to develop alternatives to traditional dye-based pigments as it allows for the production of bright and vivid colourations using sustainable materials. Whilst structural colour has been extensively studied in terrestrial animals and plants, marine organisms have begun receiving attention only …

Cellulose photonics: designing functionality and optical appearance of natural materials
… an ideal candidate for the development of new photonic materials that can find use to substitute conventional pigments, which are often harmful to humans and to the environment. However, various obstacles still prevent a widespread use of cellulose-based photonic structures. For instance, while …

Structurally coloured bacterial colonies
… organisation of the cells into two-dimensional photonic crystals, but it is still unknown how the arrangement of the cells within the polycrystalline structure can affect the colony's appearance. Moreover, the general optical mechanisms have only been verified for a handful of strains, all from …
