Flexible Mesoporous Photonic Resins with Tunable Chiral Nematic Structures

Abstract

Farben der Natur: Die Nachahmung natürlicher Strukturfarben gelang durch die Verwendung von Zellulose-Nanokristallen als Templat für chiral-nematische Phenol-Formaldehyd-Polymerkomposite. Die Entfernung des Templats ergab mesoporöse Polymerfilme mit einzigartigen optischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften. Das Anwendungspotenzial dieser Materialien in optischen Sensoren wurde ebenfalls vorgestellt.
