Description
Summary:Inspired by Nature, Marisol Martín‐González and co‐workers (article number 1800408) explore the fabrication of flexible distributed Bragg refractors from commodity thermoplastic polymers like polyethylene, creating a hydrophobic metamaterial with consistent structural colour in different view directions. These large three‐dimensional polymer networks open new possibilities for the use in sensing, photonics, filtering or as scaffold for other materials.
