Design and Optimization of Moldable Microstructures for Structural Color Generation
The use of structural color, common in nature, has been slow to catch on in manufacturing. Recent work has identified many of the structural features that lead to the advanced structural colors seen in nature, and some have even been successfully recreated. However most of these features are …

Nanostructured electrospun fibers : from superhydrophobicity to block copolymer self-assembly
… superhydrophobic fibrous membranes with structural colors as those displayed by some beautiful butterfly wings were produced. Besides making superhydrophobic materials from the externally nanostructured fibers, internally nanostructured electrospun fibers were also developed through the …

Self-assembly and selective swelling in Lamellar block copolymer photonic gels
Materials with responsive structural color have broad applications ranging from sensing to smart coating. Nature provides inspirations for the design of such materials. Mimicking the structure of the skin elements responsible for cephalopod's fast camouflage, we made photonic gels using lamellar …

The Physical Basis of Extreme Animal Coloration
… and reflectance. In these animals, pigments and structural elements are combined to produce high absorption or high reflectance. Compared to more typical pigmentary or structural colors, relatively little work has been done to examine the physical basis of extreme coloration across taxa. In this …

On the molecular pathways supporting the development of structurally coloured cuticle in Hibiscus trionum
… Hibiscus trionum petals revealed the presence of structural colours. They are mainly characterised by the specific reflection of blue and UV-light in an angle dependant manner (also known as iridescence). Further observations of the cuticle showed the presence of nano-scaled striations acting as a …
