  bibo_abstract:
  - Phase separation is a ubiquitous process and finds applications in a variety of
    biological, organic, and inorganic systems. Nature has evolved the ability to
    control phase separation to both regulate cellular processes and make composite
    materials with outstanding mechanical and optical properties. Striking examples
    of the latter are the vibrant blue and green feathers of many bird species, which
    are thought to result from an exquisite control of the size and spatial correlations
    of their phase-separated microstructures. By contrast, it is much harder for material
    scientists to arrest and control phase separation in synthetic materials with
    such a high level of precision at these length scales. In this Perspective, we
    briefly review some established methods to control liquid–liquid phase separation
    processes and then highlight the emergence of a promising arrest method based
    on phase separation in an elastic polymer network. Finally, we discuss upcoming
    challenges and opportunities for fabricating microstructured materials via mechanically
    controlled phase separation.@eng
