Abstract
背景回顾:Bright, iridescent colors observed in nature are often caused by light interference within nanoscale periodic lattices, inspiring numerous strategies for coloration devoid of inorganic pigments.
主要研究:Here, we describe and characterize the septum of the Lunaria annua plant that generates large (multicentimeter), freestanding iridescent sheets, with distinctive silvery-white reflective appearance. Assembly 1~the thin-film:This originates from the thin-film assembly of cellulose fibers in the cells of the septum that induce thin-film interference–like colors at the microscale, thus accounting for the structure’s overall silvery-white reflectance at the macroscale. Assembly 2~two thin layers:These cells further assemble into two thin layers, resulting in a mechanically robust, iridescent septum, which is also significantly light due to its high air porosity (>70%) arising from the cells’ hollow-core structure. 结论:This combination of hierarchical structure comprising mechanical and optical function can inspire technological classes of devices and interfaces based on robust, light, and spectrally responsive natural substrates.
摘 要
自然界中观察到的明亮、虹彩色泽往往是由于纳米级周期性晶格中光的干涉所造成的,这启发了无数不含无机色素的着色策略。本文中,作者研究了银扇草的隔膜,其能够产生几厘米的、独立式虹彩片,并且具有独特的银白色反光外观。银扇草的这种外观特征源自于隔膜细胞中纤维素纤维的薄膜组装,这在微观尺度上引起了类似于薄膜干涉的着色,因此解释了宏观尺度上该结构的整体银白色反射光。这些细胞会进一步组装成两片薄层,进而形成一个机械上稳固的虹彩隔膜;并且由于细胞的空心结构所导致的高通气孔隙度(>70%),银扇草中这种隔膜会异常的轻。这种机械和光学功能组合的层次结构可以为基于稳固、轻便以及光学响应的天然材料所构建的设备和介面提供技术灵感。
