Assembled into photonic crystals, brush block co-polymers have demonstrated utility in creating coatings with ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared reflectivity, radar transparency, and the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of performance coatings by up to 50%. One company has set a course to launch a structural color co-polymer based on this unique technology.

A specialty chemicals and minerals supplier offers a case study to compare its novel architectural colorants to industry-standard colorants.
