Polymer Classification: Crystallinity

2.8K
Unlike ionic or small covalent molecules, polymers do not form crystalline solids due to the diffusion limitations of their long-chain structures. However, polymers contain microscopic crystalline domains separated by amorphous domains.
Crystalline domains are the regions where polymer chains are aligned in an orderly manner and held together in proximity by intermolecular forces. For example, chains in the crystalline domains of polyethylene and nylon are bound together by van der Waals...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Ceramics

Background:

  • Conventional pigments degrade under UV light and often contain toxic substances.
  • Structural colors offer a stable, environmentally friendly alternative.
  • Ceramic-based structural colors are desirable for high-performance applications, but fabrication remains challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To pioneer the fabrication of noniridescent structural colors from silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs).
  • To develop a functionally graded material with an inverse photonic glass (FGM-PhG) structure for vivid and saturated colors.
  • To demonstrate the thermal stability and processability of these novel ceramic structural colors.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of SiOC PDC with an embedded inverse photonic glass nanostructure.
  • Utilized a stepwise coating deposition process to create a functionally graded material (FGM).
  • Transferred the fabrication process to an additive manufacturing approach to showcase processing flexibility.

Main Results:

  • Successfully created noniridescent structural colors from SiOC PDC with a unique FGM-PhG structure.
  • The structural colors exhibited vividness and maintained saturation even in white surroundings due to SiOC's light-absorbing properties.
  • Demonstrated remarkable thermal stability, withstanding 1000 °C for 100 hours.

Conclusions:

  • The study presents a novel method for fabricating highly thermally stable ceramic structural colors using PDCs.
  • The developed FGM-PhG structure offers a promising route to advanced, durable, and vivid coloration.
  • These SiOC PDC-based structural colors represent a significant advancement in thermally stable, pigment-free coloration technologies.
