在纳米尺度上构造材料的可能性对于控制光与物质的相互作用以及制造下一代油漆和涂料至关重要。在这种情况下，大自然不仅可以作为设计这种新型光学结构的灵感来源，而且还可以作为材料的主要来源。在这里，一些在自然界中使用的策略，以优化光-物质相互作用的审查和一些最近的进展，在生产的光学材料完全由植物衍生的积木是突出显示。在自然界中，由生物聚合物制成的纳米至微米尺寸的结构材料是大多数光传输效应的起源。讨论了自然光子系统如何管理光散射，以及从植物和动物身上可以学到什么来从生物聚合物中生产光子材料。通过结构变化调整光散射特性，可以使用相同的可再生和可生物降解的构建块获得从白度到透明度的各种外观。在这里，重点介绍了迄今为止生产的各种透明和白色纤维素基材料。
The possibility of structuring material at the nanoscale is essential to control light-matter interactions and therefore fabricate next-generation paints and coatings. In this context, nature can serve not only as a source of inspiration for the design of such novel optical structures, but also as a primary source of materials. Here, some of the strategies used in nature to optimize light-matter interaction are reviewed and some of the recent progress in the production of optical materials made solely of plant-derived building blocks is highlighted. In nature, nano- to micrometer-sized structured materials made from biopolymers are at the origin of most of the light-transport effects. How natural photonic systems manage light scattering and what can be learned from plants and animals to produce photonic materials from biopolymers are discussed. Tuning the light-scattering properties via structural variations allows a wide range of appearances to be obtained, from whiteness to transparency, using the same renewable and biodegradable building blocks. Here, various transparent and white cellulose-based materials produced so far are highlighted.
