Cephalopod-INspired Adaptive Photonic SystEms (CINAPSE)
Abstract
This final report describes the research activities of the Center for Cephalopod-INspired Adaptive Photonic SystEms (CINAPSE). CINAPSE comprises a distinctive group of researchers with broad expertise in cephalopod coloration and behavior, the physics, mechanics and applications of elastomeric materials, the use of tissue engineering to form engineered devices, the synthesis, characterization and utilization of inorganic materials into optical devices, as well as experts in the optical characterization of materials. Advances made through the course of the program included new insights into the structure and mechanism of cephalopod coloration, exceptional elastomeric behavior, new insights into the microstructure and optical performance of cephalopod coloration, and new means of coloration display in gels and polymeric materials.
