Abstract
By controlling the interaction of biological building blocks at the nanoscale, natural photonic nanostructures have been optimized to produce intense coloration. Inspired by such biological nanostructures, the possibility to design the visual appearance of a material by guiding the hierarchical self-assembly of its constituent components, ideally using natural materials, is an attractive route for rationally designed, sustainable manufacturing. Within the large variety of biological building blocks, cellulose nanocrystals are one of the most promising biosourced materials, primarily for their abundance, biocompatibility, and ability to readily organize into photonic structures. Here, the mechanisms underlying the formation of iridescent, vividly colored materials from colloidal liquid crystal suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals are reviewed and recent advances in structural control over the hierarchical assembly process are reported as a toolbox for the design of sophisticated optical materials.

Abstract
Artificial structural colors based on short-range-ordered amorphous photonic structures (APSs) have attracted great scientific and industrial interest in recent years. However, the previously reported methods of self-assembling colloidal nanoparticles lack fine control of the APS coating and fixation on substrates and poorly realize three-dimensional (3D) conformal coatings for objects with irregular or highly curved surfaces. In this paper, atomization deposition of silica colloidal nanoparticles with poly(vinyl alcohol) as the additive is proposed to solve the above problems. By finely controlling the thicknesses of APS coatings, additive mixing of noniridescent structural colors is easily realized. Based on the intrinsic omnidirectional feature of atomization, a one-step 3D homogeneous conformal coating is also readily realized on various irregular or highly curved surfaces, including papers, resins, metal plates, ceramics, and flexible silk fabrics. The vivid coatings on silk fabrics by atomization deposition possess robust mechanical properties, which are confirmed by rubbing and laundering tests, showing great potential in developing an environmentally friendly coloring technique in the textile industry.

Abstract
Structural colors originating from interaction of light with intricately arranged micro-/nanostructures have stimulated considerable interest because of their inherent photostability and energy efficiency. In particular, noniridescent structural color with wide viewing angle has been receiving increasing attention recently. However, no method is yet available for rapid and large-scale fabrication of full-spectrum structural color patterns with wide viewing angles. Here, infiltration-driven nonequilibrium assembly of colloidal particles on liquid-permeable and particle-excluding substrates is demonstrated to direct the particles to form amorphous colloidal arrays (ACAs) within milliseconds. The infiltration-assisted (IFAST) colloidal assembly opens new possibilities for rapid manufacture of noniridescent structural colors of ACAs and straightforward structural color mixing. Full-spectrum noniridescent structural colors are successfully produced by mixing primary structural colors of red, blue, and yellow using a commercial office inkjet printer. Rapid fabrication of large-scale structural color patterns with sophisticated color combination/layout by IFAST printing is realized. The IFAST technology is versatile for developing structural color patterns with wide viewing angles, as colloidal particles, inks, and substrates are flexibly designable for diverse applications.

Abstract
Antifogging (AF) structure materials found in nature have great potential for enabling novel and emerging products and technologies to facilitate the daily life of human societies, attracting enormous research interests owing to their potential applications in display devices, traffics, agricultural greenhouse, food packaging, solar products, and other fields. The outstanding performance of biological AF surfaces encourages the rapid development and wide application of new AF materials. In fact, AF properties are inextricably associated with their surface superwettability. Generally, the superwettability of AF materials depends on a combination of their surface geometrical structures and surface chemical compositions. To explore their general design principles, recent progresses in the investigation of bioinspired AF materials are summarized herein. Recent developments of the mechanism, fabrication, and applications of bioinspired AF materials with superwettability are also a focus. This includes information on constructing superwetting AF materials based on designing the topographical structure and regulating the surface chemical composition. Finally, the remaining challenges and promising breakthroughs in this field are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Recent advances in the field of drug screening focus on accurate, rapid and high-throughput screening methods. In our work, hydrogel inverse opal photonic crystal microspheres (HPCMs) were fabricated through a templating method and exhibited a robust and reversible response to temperature and pH. The response performance was tested under various temperature (25-55 °C) and pH (1.5-7.5) conditions and the reflective peak shifted noticeably within the visible wavelength range. Furthermore, HPCMs were used as drug delivery carriers and not only displayed high doxorubicin (DOX) drug loading but also presented thermo/pH-induced drug release properties. More importantly, these carriers were shown to be good reporters for monitoring cell viability due to their tunable colour variation. This capability was applied to H460 cell cultures with or without DOX. The structure colour of HPCMs varied in different cell culture microenvironments, and cell apoptosis was able to be distinguished. In this way, this fast, non-dyeing method for reporting cell viability in tumour cytotoxicity assays has potential in the field of drug screening and may give new insights into the use of structural colour to report results in drug screening systems.

Abstract
Morpho sulkowskyi butterfly wings contain naturally occurring hierarchical nanostructures that produce structural coloration. The high aspect ratio and surface area of these wings make them attractive nanostructured templates for applications in solar energy and photocatalysis. However, biomimetic approaches to replicate their complex structural features and integrate functional materials into their three-dimensional framework are highly limited in precision and scalability. Herein, a biotemplating approach is presented that precisely replicates Morpho nanostructures by depositing nanocrystalline ZnO coatings onto wings via low-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD). This study demonstrates the ability to precisely tune the natural structural coloration while also integrating multifunctionality by imparting photocatalytic activity onto fully intact Morpho wings. Optical spectroscopy and finite-difference time-domain numerical modeling demonstrate that ALD ZnO coatings can rationally tune the structural coloration across the visible spectrum. These structurally colored photocatalysts exhibit an optimal coating thickness to maximize photocatalytic activity, which is attributed to trade-offs between light absorption and catalytic quantum yield with increasing coating thickness. These multifunctional photocatalysts present a new approach to integrating solar energy harvesting into visually attractive surfaces that can be integrated into building facades or other macroscopic structures to impart aesthetic appeal.

Abstract
We investigate the formation of spherical supraparticles with controlled and tunable porosity on the nanometer and micrometer scales using the self-organization of a binary mixture of small (nanometer scale) oxidic particles with large (micrometer scale) polystyrene particles in the confinement of an emulsion droplet. The external confinement determines the final, spherical structure of the hybrid assembly, while the small particles form the matrix material. The large particles act as templating porogens to create micropores after combustion at elevated temperatures. We control the pore sizes on the micrometer scale by varying the size of the coassembled polystyrene microspheres and produce supraparticles from both silica- and calcium-containing CaO/SiO2 particles. Although porous supraparticles are obtained in both cases, we found that the presence of calcium ions substantially complicated the fabrication process since the increased ionic strength of the dispersion compromises the colloidal stability during the assembly process. We minimized these stability issues via the addition of a steric stabilizing agent and by mixing bioactive and silica colloidal particles. We investigated the interaction of the porous particles with bone marrow stromal cells and found an increase in cell attachment with increasing pore size of the self-assembled supraparticles.

Abstract
In recent years, colloidal arrays of submicrometer-sized monodisperse particles used as structurally colored coatings have drawn great attention due to their non-bleaching properties and low impact on human health and the environment. In this paper, structurally colored coating films were fabricated using monodisperse SiO2 particles via the cathodic electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique. The addition of a strong polycation, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA), enables the cathodic EPD of SiO2 particles and carbon black (CB) additives. Optimizing the quantities of PDDA and CB results in the appearance of vivid structural color from the coating films. The arrangement of the particle array is controllable by varying the pH of the water added to the coating sols for EPD. Structurally colored coating films with and without iridescence, i.e., angular dependence, can be fabricated on demand by a simple operation of the EPD process. In addition, the coating film prepared by cathodic EPD displayed high abrasion resistance because PDDA acts not only as a charge control agent but also as a binder. Structurally colored coatings with and without iridescence can be fabricated by varying pH of coating sols for cathodic electrophoretic deposition.![]()

Abstract
Colour produced by wavelength-dependent light scattering is a key component of visual communication in nature and acts particularly strongly in visual signalling by structurally-coloured animals during courtship. Two miniature peacock spiders (Maratus robinsoni and M. chrysomelas) court females using tiny structured scales (~ 40 × 10 μm2) that reflect the full visual spectrum. Using TEM and optical modelling, we show that the spiders' scales have 2D nanogratings on microscale 3D convex surfaces with at least twice the resolving power of a conventional 2D diffraction grating of the same period. Whereas the long optical path lengths required for light-dispersive components to resolve individual wavelengths constrain current spectrometers to bulky sizes, our nano-3D printed prototypes demonstrate that the design principle of the peacock spiders' scales could inspire novel, miniature light-dispersive components.

Abstract
A metal-lustrous self-standing film, named "porphyrin foil", was formed from a glass-forming polymeric porphyrin. The amorphous glass nature of the porphyrin foil played a key role in spontaneously producing a smooth surface. Its sharp contrast in intense absorption and specular reflection of light at each wavelength provided a brilliant metallic lustre.

Abstract
Through the use of the limited materials palette, optimally designed micro- and nanostructures, and tightly regulated processes, nature demonstrates exquisite control of light-matter interactions at various length scales. In fact, control of light-matter interactions is an important element in the evolutionary arms race and has led to highly engineered optical materials and systems. In this review, we present a detailed summary of various optical effects found in nature with a particular emphasis on the materials and optical design aspects responsible for their optical functionality. Using several representative examples, we discuss various optical phenomena, including absorption and transparency, diffraction, interference, reflection and antireflection, scattering, light harvesting, wave guiding and lensing, camouflage, and bioluminescence, that are responsible for the unique optical properties of materials and structures found in nature and biology. Great strides in understanding the design principles adapted by nature have led to a tremendous progress in realizing biomimetic and bioinspired optical materials and photonic devices. We discuss the various micro- and nanofabrication techniques that have been employed for realizing advanced biomimetic optical structures.

Abstract
Structural colors enable the creation of a spectrum of nonfading colors without pigments, potentially replacing toxic metal oxides and conjugated organic pigments. However, significant challenges remain to achieve the contrast needed for a complete gamut of colors and a scalable process for industrial application. We demonstrate a feasible solution for producing structural colors inspired by bird feathers. We have designed core-shell nanoparticles using high-refractive index (RI) (~1.74) melanin cores and low-RI (~1.45) silica shells. The design of these nanoparticles was guided by finite-difference time-domain simulations. These nanoparticles were self-assembled using a one-pot reverse emulsion process, which resulted in bright and noniridescent supraballs. With the combination of only two ingredients, synthetic melanin and silica, we can generate a full spectrum of colors. These supraballs could be directly added to paints, plastics, and coatings and also used as ultraviolet-resistant inks or cosmetics.

Abstract
The self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals is a powerful method for the fabrication of biosourced photonic films with a chiral optical response. While various techniques have been exploited to tune the optical properties of such systems, the presence of external fields has yet to be reported to significantly modify their optical properties. In this work, by using small commercial magnets (≈ 0.5-1.2 T) the orientation of the cholesteric domains is enabled to tune in suspension as they assemble into films. A detailed analysis of these films shows an unprecedented control of their angular response. This simple and yet powerful technique unlocks new possibilities in designing the visual appearance of such iridescent films, ranging from metallic to pixelated or matt textures, paving the way for the development of truly sustainable photonic pigments in coatings, cosmetics, and security labeling.

Sci Bull (Beijing) 2017; 62:938-942.

Abstract
In nature, many living organisms exhibit low-angle-dependent or even angle-independent structural colors for wide viewing angle, such as the blue skin of mandrill, feather of blue bird and shell of longhorn beetle, etc. To mimic these structural colors, based on periodic semicircular micro-grooved (PSMG) substrate, silica colloidal photonic crystals provide anisotropic angle-independent structural colors. The PSMG photonic crystals were fabricated by self-assembling monodispersed silica nanoparticles on a micro-grooved template, which can be easily prepared in large scale by a hot embossing method, and no additional materials are needed in the whole preparation process. The PSMG photonic crystals exhibit identical structural colors around the groove axis, whereas it is angle-dependent along the groove axis. In addition, this PSMG surface of photonic crystal also leads to color separation effect and monocolor polarization conversion. This system provides a facile and scalable means to prepare anisotropically angle-independent colloidal photonic crystal, which is considered important in applications in the field of anti-counterfeiting or the manufacture of monochromatic light reflector with wide viewing angles and other novel optical devices.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystal suspensions in apolar solvent spontaneously form iridescent liquid-crystalline phases but the control of their macroscopic order is usually poor. The use of electric fields can provide control on the cholesteric orientation and its periodicity, allowing macroscopic sample homogeneity and dynamical tuning of their iridescent hues, and is demonstrated here.

Abstract
Biopolymer-based composites enable to combine different functionalities using renewable materials and cost-effective routes. Here we fabricate novel thermoresponsive photonic films combining cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with a polydiolcitrate elastomer exhibiting shape memory properties, known as hydroxyl-dominant poly(dodecanediol-co-citrate) (PDDC-HD). Iridescent films of CNCs are first made by evaporation-induced self-assembly, then embedded in the PDDC-HD prepolymer, and finally cured to obtain a cross-linked composite with shape memory properties. The fabricated samples are characterized by polarized optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermomechanical cycling. The obtained hybrid material combines both intense structural coloration and shape memory effect. The association of stiff cellulose nanocrystals and soft polydiolcitrate elastomer enhances the overall mechanical properties (increased modulus and reduced brittleness). This hybrid nanocomposite takes advantage of two promising materials and expands their possibilities to cover a wide range of potential applications as multiresponsive devices and sensors. As they perform from room to body temperatures, they could be also good candidates for biomedical applications.
