Mechanism-Selective Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Dendronized Brush Block Copolymers Into Lamellar and Porous Photonic Pigments.
Polymeric photonic microspheres with visible structural colors offer safe and vibrant alternatives to traditional toxic pigments. These materials are commonly fabricated through confined self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) in evaporative emulsions, which can proceed by either microphase separation or organized spo...
