On the other hand, with manmade pigment, new molecules are needed for every color present.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on such bio-inspirations, Chanda\u2019s research group innovated a plasmonic paint, which utilizes nanoscale structural arrangement of colorless materials \u2014 aluminum and aluminum oxide \u2014 instead of pigments to create colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While pigment colorants control light absorption based on the electronic property of the pigment material and hence every color needs a new molecule, structural colorants control the way light is reflected, scattered or absorbed based purely on the geometrical arrangement of nanostructures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such structural colors are environmentally friendly as they only use metals and oxides, unlike present pigment-based colors that use artificially synthesized molecules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers have combined their structural color flakes with a commercial binder to form long-lasting paints of all colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNormal color fades because pigment loses its ability to absorb photons,\u201d Chanda says. \u201cHere, we\u2019re not limited by that phenomenon. Once we paint something with structural color, it should stay for centuries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, because plasmonic paint reflects the entire infrared spectrum, less heat is absorbed by the paint, resulting in the underneath surface staying 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than it would if it were covered with standard commercial paint, the researcher says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver 10% of total electricity in the U.S. goes toward air conditioner usage,\u201d Chanda says. \u201cThe temperature difference plasmonic paint promises would lead to significant energy savings. Using less electricity for cooling would also cut down carbon dioxide emissions, lessening global warming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plasmonic paint is also extremely lightweight, the researcher says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is due to the paint\u2019s large area-to-thickness ratio, with full coloration achieved at a paint thickness of only 150 nanometers, making it the lightest paint in the world, Chanda says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paint is so lightweight that only about 3 pounds of plasmonic paint could cover a Boeing 747, which normally requires more than 1,000 pounds of conventional paint, he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chanda says his interest in structural color stems from the vibrancy of butterflies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a kid, I always wanted to build a butterfly,\u201d he says. \u201cColor draws my interest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Future Research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chanda says the next steps of the project include further exploration of the paint\u2019s energy-saving aspects to improve its viability as commercial paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe conventional pigment paint is made in big facilities where they can make hundreds of gallons of paint,\u201d he says. \u201cAt this moment, unless we go through the scale-up process, it is still expensive to produce at an academic lab.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to bring something different like, non-toxicity, cooling effect, ultralight weight, to the table that other conventional paints can\u2019t.\u201d Chanda says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Licensing Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about licensing this technology, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/ucf.flintbox.com\/technologies\/86e3d638-b027-42d3-bab7-44bc599daef1\">Inorganic Paint Pigment for Vivid Plasmonic Color technology sheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Researcher\u2019s Credentials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chanda has joint appointments in UCF\u2019s NanoScience Technology Center, <a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/\">Department of Physics<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/\">College of Optics and Photonics<\/a>.
