Photonic Crystals (PCs) are periodically organized dielectric nanomaterials that have a Photonic Band Gap (PBG) superimposed on the visible light regime. The simplest strategy for preparing PCs is the self-organization of spherical monodisperse nanoparticles via sedimentation of colloidal suspensions. Despite having vivid structural colors, this class of materials is fragile, and only fla…
A large number of organisms exhibit properties of technical and economic interest. Among them, we highlight an aquatic plant named Nelumbo nucifera, popularly known as Lotus Flower and eternally admired for their superhydrofobic properties resulting from their high surface roughness. Inspired by the elegant Lotus structure, various methods have been proposed for obtaining superhydrofobic …
This research project aims to prepare and study nanocomposites based on PA6/ABS blends compatibilized with two different reactive copolymers: terpolymer styrene-acrylonitrile--maleic anhydride (SANMA) and methyl methacrylate-co-maleic anhydride (MMA-MA). It will be evaluated the effects of addition and dispersion state of the nanoparticles lamellar clay, of the different compatibilizing …
Mechanochromic materials have the potential to be used in the human motion monitoring since they can provide intuitive colorimetric responses discernible with naked eyes. However, the fabrication of functional wearables remains challenging because the mechanochromic effect is usually manifested in films that are difficult to be crafted into customized devices. It has been recently propose…
Nelumbo nucifera, usually known as Lotus flower, is undoubtedly a great source of inspiration for the development of water-repellent surfaces. Its uncommon superhydrophobic properties is laid on the perfect synergy between the two-level hierarchical roughness and low surface energy. Two-level hierarchical structures can be obtained by LbL assembly technique through the deposition of small…
