摘要

Abstract

Structural colors have drawn wide attention for their potential as a future printing technology for various applications

ranging from biomimetic tissues to adaptive camouflage materials. However

an efficient approach to realize robust colors with a scalable fabrication technique is still lacking

hampering the realization of practical applications with this platform. Here

we develop a new approach based on large-scale network metamaterials that combine dealloyed subwavelength structures at the nanoscale with lossless

ultra-thin dielectric coatings. By using theory and experiments

we show how subwavelength dielectric coatings control a mechanism of resonant light coupling with epsilon-near-zero regions generated in the metallic network

generating the formation of saturated structural colors that cover a wide portion of the spectrum. Ellipsometry measurements support the efficient observation of these colors

even at angles of 70°. The network-like architecture of these nanomaterials allows for high mechanical resistance

which is quantified in a series of nano-scratch tests. With such remarkable properties

these metastructures represent a robust design technology for real-world

large-scale commercial applications.
