Researchers Develop Durable, Glossy Structural Color Coating for 3D Surfaces

Kobe University researchers have created a pigment-free structural color coating that is vivid, glossy, and durable, overcoming previous limitations. This innovation, detailed in Small Structures, allows for non-fading color on large, three-dimensional surfaces by using silica-shelled nanospheres to control spacing and improve self-assembly. The technology could enable widespread application of structural color in various industries.
