Journal ArticleDOI
3D Printing of Liquid Crystalline Hydroxypropyl Cellulose—toward Tunable and Sustainable Volumetric Photonic Structures
Chun Lam Chan,Iek Man Lei,Gea T. van de Kerkhof,Richard M. Parker,Kieran D Richards,Rachel C. Evans,Yan Huang,Silvia Vignolini +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , cholesteric hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is combined with in situ photo-crosslinking to produce filaments with an internal helicoidal nanoarchitecture, enabling the direct ink writing of solid, volumetric objects with structural color.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revealing the Structural Coloration of Self‐Assembled Chitin Nanocrystal Films
Aurimas Narkevicius,Richard M. Parker,Jordi Ferrer-Orri,Thomas G. Parton,Zihao Lu,Gea T. van de Kerkhof,Bruno Frka-Petesic,Silvia Vignolini +7 more
TL;DR: To expand the range of accessible pitches, ChNCs are isolated from two phylogenetically distinct sources of α‐chitin, namely fungi and shrimp, while an in situ alkaline treatment is performed, increasing the intensity of the reflected color by nearly two orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precise Tailoring of Polyester Bottlebrush Amphiphiles toward Eco-Friendly Photonic Pigments via Interfacial Self-Assembly.
Qi Chao Guo,Runze Xue,Jian Zhao,Yuxia Zhang,Gea T. van de Kerkhof,Kunyu Zhang,Yue-Sheng Li,Silvia Vignolini,Dong-Po Song +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , amphiphilic polyester-block-poly(ethylene glycol) bottlebrush block copolymers (BBCPs) with polylactic acid or poly(ɛ-caprolactone) as the hydrophobic block are synthesized and used to fabricate eco-friendly photonic pigments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deconvoluting the Optical Response of Biocompatible Photonic Pigments
Zhen Wang,Chun Lam Chan,Johannes S. Haataja,Lukas Schertel,Rui-guo Li,Gea T. van de Kerkhof,Oren A. Scherman,Richard M. Parker,Silvia Vignolini +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , an inverse photonic glass architecture can enable the use of biocompatible bottlebrush block copolymers (BBCPs), which otherwise lack the refractive index contrast needed for a strong photonic response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polysaccharide metabolism regulates structural colour in bacterial colonies
Gea T. van de Kerkhof,Lukas Schertel,Laura Catón,Thomas G. Parton,Martin Müller,Heather F. Greer,Colin J. Ingham,Silvia Vignolini +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that the highly ordered organization of cells from the structurally coloured bacteria Flavobacterium strain IR1 can be altered by the presence of fucoidans, providing new insight into the biochemical pathways regulating structural colour in bacteria.
