Understanding hierarchical spheres-in-grating assembly for bio-inspired colouration
- Abstract:
- The vivid iridescent response from particular butterflies is as an excellent example of how micro-engineered hierarchical architectures that combine physical structures and pigmentary inclusions create unique colouration. To date, however, detailed knowledge is missing to replicate such sophisticated structures in a robust, reliable manner. Here, we deliver spheres-in-grating assemblies with colouration effects as found in nature, exploiting embossed polymer gratings and self-assembled light-absorbing micro-spheres.
