The COLOUR project aims to revolutionize pigment technology by developing scalable, bio-inspired photonic pigments based on block copolymer self-assembly. Unlike traditional dyes, these pigments produce vivid, angle-independent structural colour without the need for toxic chemicals or fading-prone molecules. Through precise nanostructuring and the integration of high-refractive index and broadband-absorbing materials, the resulting photonic particles offer exceptional brightness and colour purity. Applications range from sustainable coatings and paints to photonic surfaces, cosmetics, and optical sensors. The project leverages interdisciplinary expertise across materials science, optics, and polymer chemistry, establishing a versatile platform for future light-managing materials.
