Triply periodic minimal surface structures and related geometries are widely identified in
many natural systems, such as biological membranes and biophotonic structures in butterfly …

The gyroid is a continuous and triply periodic cubic morphology which possesses a constant
mean curvature surface across a range of volumetric fill fractions. Found in a variety of …

The physical and mechanical properties of cellular materials not only depend on the
constituent materials but also on the microstructures. Here we show that, when the cellular …

Complex three-dimensional biophotonic nanostructures produce the vivid structural colors of
many butterfly wing scales, but their exact nanoscale organization is uncertain. We used …

We present a systematic study of the cuticular structure in the butterfly wing scales of some
papilionids (Parides sesostris and Teinopalpus imperialis) and lycaenids (Callophrys rubi …

In this report, we highlight the development of polymers as 1D photonic crystals and
subsequently place special emphasis on the activities in self‐assembled block copolymers …

Certain periodic dielectric structures can prohibit the propagation of light for all directions
within a frequency range. These'photonic crystals' allow researchers to modify the …

Block polymers are formed by the covalent union of two or more chemically distinct
homopolymers. These composite macromolecules self-assemble into a variety of ordered …

In response to thermodynamic driving forces, the domains in microphase-separated block
copolymers have distinct intermaterial dividing surfaces (IMDS). Of particular interest are …

Band structures of three dimensionally periodic bi-and tricontinuous cubic structures have
been calculated using the plane-wave method for solving Maxwell's equations. In particular …
