Biomimetic design of iridescent insect cuticles with tailored, self-organized cholesteric patterns
Replicating biological patterns is promising for designing materials with multifaceted properties but replication of twisted cholesteric liquid crystal patterns found in insects is extremely difficult. Here, the authors use liquid crystal oligomers to reproduce the textural, structural and color pro...
