Abstract

Periodic assembly in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) crystallized at selected Tc is analyzed with microscopy 3D interior dissection. Orderly grating-arrayed lamellae in PHB display light-interfering iridescence, resembling nature's structured coloration seen in inorganic minerals or organic species.
