The aim of the project is to identify and verify suitable strategies to strongly bond structural colors formed out of CNCs to the wood substrate and to overcome the disadvantage of the current absence of water resistance. Design principles and approaches found in nature may act as a starting point. As possible approaches we see enzymatic modification of the wood surface to enhance interaction, physical methods to induce energy (heat, rays), green chemical approaches to improve the cohesion of the cellulose assembly or incorporation of fully biobased matrix polymers or waxes.
