ATRP enhances structural correlations in polymerization-induced phase separation

Alba Sicher, Richard Whitfield, Jan Ilavsky +3

Synthetic methods to control the structure of materials at sub-micron scales are typically based on the self-assembly of structural building blocks with precise size and morphology…

The height of chitinous ridges alone produces the entire structural colour palette

Hemant Kumar Raut, Qifeng Ruan, Cédric Finet +3

The colourful wings of butterflies result from the interaction between light and the intricate chitinous nanostructures on butterflies' scales. This study demonstrates that just by…

Structural Color from Solid-State Polymerization-Induced Phase Separation

Alba Sicher, Rabea Ganz, Andreas Menzel +8

Structural colors are produced by wavelength-dependent scattering of light from nanostructures. While living organisms often exploit phase separation to directly assemble structura…

Cellular and Developmental Basis of Avian Structural Coloration

Vinodkumar Saranathan, Cédric Finet

Vivid structural colors in birds are a conspicuous and vital part of their phenotype. They are produced by a rich diversity of integumentary photonic nanostructures in skin and fea…

How non-iridescent colors are generated by quasi-ordered structures of bird feathers

Heeso Noh, Seng Fatt Liew, Vinodkumar Saranathan +4

We investigated the mechanism of structural coloration by quasi-ordered nanostructures in bird feather barbs. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data reveal the structures are iso…

Double scattering of light from biophotonic nanostructures with short-range order

Heeso Noh, Seng Fatt Liew, Vinodkumar Saranathan +4

We investigate the physical mechanism for color production by isotropic nanostructures with short-range order in bird feather barbs. While the primary peak in optical scattering sp…
