Main Focus
Natural biological materials possess multi-scale hierarchical structures, enabling performance optimization at each level, such as structural color. Periodic nanostructures can generate structural color through interference, diffraction, and scattering of incident light, which contrasts sharply with ordinary pigments. Structural color is very common in nature, found in various forms, including opals, butterfly wings, fish scales, plant petals, and fruits. My goal is to clarify the relationship between the multi-scale structure of natural materials and their structural color, thereby preparing color-adjustable wide-angle CNC structural color materials, and further extending to other biomass and artificial synthetic systems.
I am particularly interested in:
- Multi-scale hierarchical structure of natural structural color materials
- The self-assembly of wide-angle CNC structural color materials
- The preparation of structural color inks and the mechanism of color regulation
Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Jingjiang Wei is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Sustainable and Bio-inspired Materials, headed by Prof. Silvia Vignolini, at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces.
Jingjiang obtained his bachelor’s degree from Southwest University of Science and Technology in 2015. He then received his Ph.D. from Wuhan University of Technology in 2022, under the supervision of Prof. Zhengyi Fu (Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering). During 2021-2022, he conducted joint doctoral training at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA), under the supervision of Dr. Gustav Nyström. During his doctoral research, he mainly focused on the additive manufacturing and multifunctionality of bio-inspired materials. Subsequently, he joined Chengdu University as a PI, mainly conducting research on the multi-scale structural design and interface interaction mechanism of biomimetic materials, including structural color, radiative cooling, and hydrogel fatigue resistance.
