- The article is an experimental demonstration of micro and nanostructured photonic crystals made of biodegradable and insoluble cellulose materials instead of conventional polymer structures. Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth and can be mainly obtained from wood pulp and cotton. As the process is replica moulding, it can be used for large scale production with low price. The proposed photonic material is well aligned a with the UN's Sustainable Development 12th Goal- Responsible Consumption and Production of Resources. The paper is selected by the Editor of the Journal ACS Nano as cover page (August 2020 issue).
