Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed the world’s lightest paint<\/strong>, which is energy efficient, can be moulded into any colour, and is said to last for centuries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To produce colours, the plasmonic paint employs a nanoscale structural arrangement of colourless materials \u2014 aluminium and aluminium oxide \u2014<\/strong> rather than traditional pigments. Debashis Chanda, a professor at UCF’s NanoScience Technology Center<\/strong>, led the study, which he said was inspired by butterflies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Structural colour serves as the primary color-generating mechanism<\/strong> in several extremely vivid species, where the geometrical arrangement of typically two colourless materials produces all colours.<\/em>\" In contrast, with manmade pigment<\/strong>, new molecules are required for each colour present,\" Chanda said in a statement.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The paint differs from pigment colourants in that structural colourants control how light is reflected, scattered, or absorbed <\/strong>based solely on the geometrical arrangement of nanostructures, whereas pigment colourants control light absorption based on the electronic property of the pigmenting material,<\/strong> with each colour requiring a new molecule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
According to the researchers, the structural colours are environmentally friendly “because they only use metals and oxides, as opposed to current pigment-based colours that use artificially synthesised molecules.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the study, colour engineering can be accomplished by controlling the colorant’s absorptive or reflective response to white light. “Normal colour fades as a result of pigment losing its ability to absorb photons.<\/strong>” <\/p>
That phenomenon does not apply here.<\/p>
 “Once we apply structural colour <\/strong>to something, it should last for centuries,” Chanda added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The paint is designed in such a way that it keeps the surface cooler than standard commercial paint would.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The temperature difference promised by plasmonic paint would result in significant energy savings.”<\/strong> “Using less electricity for cooling reduces carbon dioxide emissions, which reduces global warming<\/strong>,” Chanda explained, adding that plasmonic paint is also extremely lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Its high area-to-thickness ratio, with full coloration at a thickness of only 150 nanometers, makes it the world’s lightest paint<\/strong>, and the researchers claim that just one kilogramme could cover a Boeing 747, which normally requires over 400 kilogrammes of traditional paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I always wanted to build a butterfly as a kid,”<\/strong> Chanda said, adding that “colour draws my interest.”<\/p>
