Polydopamine is a biopolymer that is gaining widespread interest as a surface modifying
agent due to its simplicity of preparation, versatility and biocompatibility. The material was …

Structural colors originate from the physical interaction between light and specific micro-or
nanostructured matters. They have gained significant scientific and industrial interest due to …

A scalable protocol for design and subsequent 3D‐printing of polymeric core‐shell‐particles
is reported. The particle synthesis by emulsion polymerization in starved‐feed mode is used …

There are usually trade‐offs between maximizing the color saturation and brightness and
minimizing the angle‐dependent effect in structural colors. Here, a magnetic field‐induced …

Functional nanoparticles (NPs) with unique photoelectric, mechanical, magnetic, and
chemical properties have attracted considerable attention. Aggregated NPs rather than …

Inspired by structural colors in avian species, various synthetic strategies have been
developed to produce noniridescent, saturated colors using nanoparticle assemblies …

Allomelanin is a class of nitrogen-free melanin mostly found in fungi and, like all naturally
occurring melanins, is hydrophilic. Herein, we develop a facile method to modify synthetic …

The assembly of (nano) particles into compact hierarchical structures yields emergent
properties not found in the individual constituents. The formation of these structures relies on …

Structurally colored materials offer increased stability, high biocompatibility, and a large
variety of colors, which can hardly be reached simultaneously using conventional chemical …

In this work, structural color inks with practical significance in anti-counterfeiting applications
have been successfully manufactured by facilely mixing SiO2@ PDA@ PHEMA hybrid …
