Printing Flowers? Custom-tailored Photonic Cellulose Films with Engineered Surface Topography [PDF]
Matter, vol. 1, pages 988-1000 (2019), 2019 Wrought by nature's wondrous hand, surface topographies are discovered on all length scales in living creatures and serve a variety of functions. Inspired by floral striations, here we developed a scalable means of fabricating custom-tailored photonic cellulose films that contained both cholesteric organization and microscopic wrinkly surface ...
