Abstract
Photonic materials offer the prospect of control over light and consequently the possibility of new and exciting devices based on the manipulation of light. Taking inspiration from the natural world, which readily uses nanostructure to produce structural color, but using synthetic polymeric building blocks, “partial photonic” structures can be created. Polymer based photonic devices based on block copolymers are attractive as they readily self-organize into a variety of structures using well-established design rules. These materials therefore have the potential to be processed with minimal manufacturing input and so enable high volume production of new photonic devices, crucially at a low overall cost.
