Reflective Coloration from Structural Plasmonic to Disordered Polarizonic
Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 2, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021 Here, a novel insight on reflective coloration at visible frequencies arising from ordered metallic “structured” plasmonic materials versus disordered mediums with specular reflection peaks is presented. While shedding the light on the static and dynamic colors, an emphasis on the newly introduced polarizonic resonance phenomenon, which emerges from ...

A Review on Gelatin Based Hydrogels for Medical Textile Applications
Journal of Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer networks that absorb any kind of liquid including biological fluids. Natural polymers and their derivatives along with synthetic polymers are used to form the hydrogels. Networks that constitute the hydrogels are created by the crosslinking of either synthesized polymers starting from monomers or already developed ...
