Manufacturing Large-scale Materials with Structural Color

Living organisms frequently use structural color for coloration as an alternative mechanism to chemical pigmentation. Recently there has been a growing interest translate into synthetic materials more durable and less hazardous conventional pigments. Efforts fabricate structurally colored take place in different fronts, from 3D printing spray-coating roll-to-roll casting. Stability, performance, quality of the color, environmental impact or their manufacturing methods are some heavily researched topics we discuss. First, highlight recent examples large-scale technologies objects. Second, discuss current challenges be tackled create perfect appearances which aim at full gamut while caring concerns.
