Plasma-Structural Coloring: A New Colorful approach to an Inkless Future

(a) Scheme illustrating the “plasma-structural coloring”; (b) The picture of a letter “A” written by a pencil; (c) The picture of the sample after the plasma irradiation for 80 seconds.

Classic graphite pencils can be used and transformed into colorful works using plasma irradiation, without a drop of colored ink used. New developments for achieving structural coloring through plasma irradiation of graphite can reduce the reliance upon harmful color dyes. Colors achieved by plasma irradiation are completely erasable and can be manipulated using time exposed to the plasma irradiation, intensity of the irradiation and the thickness of the graphite layer applied...
