Abstract
In recent years, artificial amorphous photonic structure (APS) materials with high color saturation and angle independence have been competitively reported. However, there is a lack of research into their functionalization and application in practical environments. Here, with practical applications in mind, we prepared APS pigments based on CB@SiO2@TiO2 core-bishell nanospheres and demonstrated high color saturation, enhanced color stability, and excellent photocatalytic activity. SiO2 effectively protected the carbon black particles from ablation during the calcination process. Paints composed of ethanol, ethyl cellulose (EC), and pigments could be spray-coated on any substrate to prepare a structurally colored coating without limitation. The coatings show good mechanical stability and photothermal stability. The color of the structurally colored pigments can be easily changed by adjusting the sizes of the CB@SiO2@TiO2 nanospheres. The photocatalytic activity of the pigments on formaldehyde (HCHO) and methylene blue (MB) solution and reaction kinetics of their degradation were studied by experiment. The results showed that the photocatalytic activity of the pigments increased with the increase of the TiO2 loading, and the degradation rate of HCHO reached 96.7% for 3 h and that of MB reached 97.9% for 60 min when the TiO2 shell thickness was 40 nm. The structurally colored pigments based on CB@SiO2@TiO2 nanospheres effectively solve the environmental problems caused by the application of pigments and have a promising future in the fields of color decoration, display, and painting.

Abstract
Many organisms produce stunning optical displays based on structural color instead of pigmentation. This structural or photonic color is achieved through the interaction of light with intricate micro-/nano-structures, which are "grown" from strong, sustainable biological materials such as chitin, keratin, and cellulose. In contrast, current synthetic structural colored materials are usually brittle, inert, and produced via energy-intensive processes, posing significant challenges to their practical uses. Inspired by the brilliantly colored peacock feathers which selectively grow keratin-based photonic structures with different photonic bandgaps, we develop a self-growing photonic composite system in which the photonic bandgaps and hence the coloration can be easily tuned. This is achieved via the selective growth of the polymer matrix with polymerizable compounds as feeding materials in a silica nanosphere-polymer composite system, thus effectively modulating the photonic bandgaps without compromising nanostructural order. Such strategy not only allows the material system to continuously vary its colors and patterns in an on-demand manner, but also endows it with many appealing properties, including flexibility, toughness, self-healing ability, and reshaping capability. As this innovative self-growing method is simple, inexpensive, versatile, and scalable, we foresee its significant potential in meeting many emerging requirements for various applications of structural color materials.

Abstract
The natural occurrence of precious opals, consisting of highly organized silica particles, has prompted interest in the synthesis and formation of these structures. Previous research has shown that a highly organized photonic crystal (PhC) array is only possible when it is based on a low polydispersity index (PDI) sample of particles. In this study, a solvent-only variation method is used to synthesize different sizes of silica particles (SiPs) by following the traditional sol-gel Stöber approach. The controlled rate of the addition of the reagents promoted the homogeneity of the nucleation and growth of the spherical silica particles, which in turn yielded a low PDI. The opalescent PhC were obtained via self-assembly of these particles using a solvent evaporation method. Analysis of the spatial statistics, using Voronoi tessellations, pair correlation functions, and bond order analysis showed that the successfully formed arrays showed a high degree of quasi-hexagonal (hexatic) organization, with both global and local order. Highly organized PhC show potential for developing future materials with tunable structural reflective properties, such as solar cells, sensing materials, and coatings, among others.

Abstract
The modulation of structural color through various methods has attracted considerable attention. Herein, a new modulation method for the structural colors in all-dielectric photonic crystals (PCs) using energetic ion beams is proposed. One type of periodic PC and two different defective PCs were experimentally investigated. Under carbon-ion irradiation, the color variation primarily originated from the blue shift of the optical spectra. The varying degrees of both the reflection and transmission structural colors mainly depended on the carbon-ion fluences. Such nanostructures are promising for tunable color filters and double-sided chromatic displays based on PCs.

Abstract
We report on shear-ordered polymer photonic crystals demonstrating intense structural color with a photonic bandgap at 270 nm. Our work examines this UV structural color, originating from a low refractive index contrast polymer composite system as a function of the viewing angle. We report extensive characterization of the angle-dependent nature of this color in the form of 'scattering cones', which showed strong reflectivity in the 275-315 nm range. The viewing range of the scattering was fully quantified for a number of planes and angles, and we additionally discuss the unique spectral anisotropy observed in these structures. Such films could serve as low-cost UV reflection coatings with applications in photovoltaics due to the fact of their non-photobleaching and robust mechanical behavior in addition to their favorable optical properties.

Abstract
In contrast to traditional pigment colors, structural colors have developed a great potential in practical applications, thanks to their unique nonfading and color tunable properties; especially amorphous photonic structures with noniridescent structural colors have attracted considerable attention and their applications have expanded to more fields. Herein, graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) enhanced noniridescent structural colors with excellent mechanical robustness were established by a time-saving approach named spray coating, which allows for rapid fabrication of angular independent structural colors by spraying different photonic spray paints (PSPs) to ensure color multiplicity that was adjusted by the silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) sizes onto the substrates. The incorporation of poly(methyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate) (PMB) improved the adhesion existing among SiO2 inter-nanoparticles and between SiO2 NPs and the substrates, taking advantages of the low glass transition temperature (Tg) of butyl acrylate derivative polymer and made PMB embedded PSPs coated patterns being imparted with good mechanical robustness and abrasive resistance. The peculiar light adsorption of GO and RGO across visible light spectrum facilitate higher color saturation. The improvement in color saturation of GO and RGO doped PSPs is expected to boost the promising applications in structurally colored paintings, inks and other color-related optical fields.

Abstract
Structural colors are colors generated by the interaction between incident light and nanostructures. Structural colors have been studied for decades due to their promising advantages of long-term stability and environmentally friendly properties compared with conventional pigments and dyes. Previous studies have demonstrated many artificial structural colors inspired by naturally generated colors from plants and animals. Moreover, many strategies consisting of different principles have been reported to achieve dynamically tunable structural colors. Furthermore, the artificial structural colors can have multiple functions besides decoration, such as absorbing solar energy, anti-counterfeiting, and information encryption. In the present work, we reviewed the typical artificial structural colors generated by multilayer films, photonic crystals, and metasurfaces according to the type of structures, and discussed the approaches to achieve dynamically tunable structural colors.

Abstract
HOTHESIS Because of their flexible structure and adjustable color, structural colors with non-close-packed colloidal crystal arrays (NCCAs) have broad applications. However, most of these structural colors are limited by an approximate refractive index or high background scattering, and they present an unsatisfactory color that seriously hinders their practical application. Preparation of particles with a high refractive index or adsorption coefficient may be an effective approach to construct highly colorimetric NCCA structural colors in a nonaqueous solvent. The aim of this study was to explore the formation process of NCCA by the assembly of colloidal particles in a nonaqueous solvent, so as to fabricate NCCAs with a high refractive index and high adsorption. EXPERIMENTS An attempt was made to fabricate the NCCA structural color by dispersing the desired particles in a 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) solvent. Surface-functionalized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles were developed by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. The formation of NCCA was studied by comparing the dispersion of three classes of surface-functionalization of colloidal particles in the HEMA solvent. The melanin-like particles with a high refractive index and a high adsorption coefficient were synthesized by doping polydopamine (PDA) into good surface-functionalization particles by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. A highly colorimetric poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) optical film with NCCA was fabricated by dispersing the melanin-like particles in a pHEMA hydrogel. FINDINGS PMMA-HEMA colloidal particles could successfully construct a NCCA structure in a nonaqueous HEMA solvent because of the solvation. Based on the "good particles," PMMA-HEMA-PDA colloidal particles, an initial 3-hydroxytyramine hydrochloride (DA·HCl) concentration of 1.926 mM was shown to significantly improve the colorimetric value of the final solidified NCCA hydrogel. These results provided an important reference for the construction of surfactant-free HEMA non-close-packed colloidal crystals. This highly colorimetric structurally colored hydrogel may be widely used in the design of a variety of colored intelligent sensors and soft devices.

Compression-Responsive Photonic Crystals Based on Fluorine-Containing Polymers. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:polym11122114.

Abstract
Fluoropolymers represent a unique class of functional polymers due to their various interesting and important properties such as thermal stability, resistance toward chemicals, repellent behaviors, and their low refractive indices in comparison to other polymeric materials. Based on the latter optical property, fluoropolymers are particularly of interest for the preparation of photonic crystals for optical sensing application. Within the present study, photonic crystals were prepared based on core-interlayer-shell particles focusing on fluoropolymers. For particle assembly, the melt-shear organization technique was applied. The high order and refractive index contrast of the individual components of the colloidal crystal structure lead to remarkable reflection colors according to Bragg’s law of diffraction. Due to the special architecture of the particles, consisting of a soft core, a comparably hard interlayer, and again a soft shell, the resulting opal films were capable of changing their shape and domain sizes upon applied pressure, which was accompanied with a (reversible) change of the observed reflection colors as well. By the incorporation of adjustable amounts of UV cross-linking agents into the opal film and subsequent treatment with different UV irradiation times, stable and pressure-sensitive opal films were obtained. It is shown that the present strategy led to (i) pressure-sensitive opal films featuring reversibly switchable reflection colors and (ii) that opal films can be prepared, for which the written pattern—resulting from the compressed particles—could be fixed upon subsequent irradiation with UV light. The herein described novel fluoropolymer-containing photonic crystals, with their pressure-tunable reflection color, are promising candidates in the field of sensing devices and as potential candidates for anti-counterfeiting materials.

Abstract
Compared with traditional paper, water rewritable photonic crystal (PC) paper is an environmentally friendly and low resource-consuming material for information storage. Although, recently reported PC papers have high-quality structure color showing promising prospect, the paper size, that is within several centimeters, still limits turning it from potential to reality. Here, we present a new water rewritable PC film as large as the A4 size (210 × 300 mm2) with a high-quality structure color. The material is prepared by thermal assisted self-assembly on the air-liquid interface. To fix such a large-area self-assembled PC film, we partially deform and coalesce the self-assembled nanoparticles, which have low glass transition temperature. This process causes the film to be transparent and structural colorless but still keeps the inner 3D-ordered structure. Then, utilizing the hydrophilic nature of the assembled block, the film can be switched to a structural color state by touching water. Diverse brilliant structural colors appear with different assembled particle (poly(butyl methacrylate- co-methylmethacrylate- co-butyl acrylate- co-diacetone acrylamide) named as PBMBD) sizes. The transparency-structural color transition can be performed multiple times reversibly in all or specific regions of the film. It provides a new solution for future applications of rewriteable PC paper.

MATERIALS 2018; 11:ma11122500. [PMID: 30544840 PMCID: PMC6317265 DOI: 10.3390/ma11122500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2018] [Revised: 12/06/2018] [Accepted: 12/07/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Amorphous photonic structures with non-iridescent and highly-stable structural color were fabricated via a simple one-step spray-coating technique. With this strategy, the obtained films on textile substrates presented short-ordered and amorphous photonic structures (APSs) similar to the amorphous nanostructures of avian feathers. The structural color presented the same hue when viewed at different angles and could be well controlled by varying the diameters of the SiO2 nanospheres. The prepared fabrics with structural color exhibited high color stability due to stability in both the assembled physical structure and the refractive index. The high stability of the assembled physical structure was attributed to the cementing effect of Poly(methylmethacrylate-butylacrylate) P(MMA-BA) existing between textile substrate and SiO2 nanospheres and among SiO2 nanospheres, while the high stability in the refractive index was contributed by the liquid-resistance achieved by both the surface roughness and the low-surface-energy of the as-sprayed APSs. With the resistances to external forces and liquid invasion, the non-iridescent brilliant structural color of the as-prepared fabrics could be kept steady. In this study, an approach of fabricating APSs with non-iridescent and stable structural color was established to enhance its potential application in structural coloration of textiles, and other color-related smart textiles.

Abstract
In this study, the inclusion of graphene oxide in silica photonic crystals was found to affect optical reflectance intensity and reflectance peak broadening. The quantitative relationship between weight percentage and the reflected light intensity and corresponding wavelength shift of light GO-decorated photonic crystals was studied, providing a useful parameter in the rational design of antireflection coatings for GO-based photonic crystal films. Comparison of the experimental results with a pure SiO2 particle film shows that a SiO2 particle surface layer incorporated with a fixed graphene oxide weight percentage results in broadening of the peak and a decrease in reflectance intensity. The percentage of the reduction in reflectance intensity is a function of particle size, as indicated by the structured color film surface, demonstrating the possibility of estimating the effect of different graphene oxide inclusion percentages on the antireflection properties of photonic crystal films. In this study, the inclusion of graphene oxide in silica photonic crystals was found to affect optical reflectance intensity and reflectance peak broadening.![]()

Abstract
Structural colored materials have attracted increasing attention due to their vivid color effects and non-photobleaching characteristics. However, the angle dependence of these structural colors severely restricts their practical applications, for example, in display and sensing devices. Here, a new strategy for obtaining low angle dependent structural colors is demonstrated by fabricating long-range ordered photonic crystal films. By using spheres with high refractive indices as building blocks, the angle dependence of the obtained colors has been strongly suppressed. Green, golden yellow and red structural colored films with low angle dependence were obtained by using 145 nm, 165 nm and 187 nm Cu2O spheres as building blocks, respectively. SEM images confirmed the long-range highly ordered arrays of the Cu2O photonic crystal films. Reflectance spectra and digital photographs clearly demonstrate the low angle dependence of these structural colors, which is in sharp comparison with the case of polystyrene (PS) and SiO2 photonic crystal films. Furthermore, these structural colors are vivid with high color saturation, not only under black background, but also under white background and natural light without adding any light-absorbing agents. These low angle dependent structural colors endow Cu2O photonic crystal films with great potential in practical applications. Our findings may broaden the strategies for the design and fabrication of angle independent structural colored materials.

Abstract
This review concerns the recently emerged class of composite colloidal photonic crystals (PCs), in which gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are included in the photonic structure. The use of composites allows achieving a strong modification of the optical properties of photonic crystals by involving the light scattering with electronic excitations of the gold component (surface plasmon resonance, SPR) realizing a combination of absorption bands with the diffraction resonances occurring in the body of the photonic crystals. Considering different preparations of composite plasmonic-photonic crystals, based on 3D-PCs in presence of AuNPs, different resonance phenomena determine the optical response of hybrid crystals leading to a broadly tunable functionality of these crystals. Several chemical methods for fabrication of opals and inverse opals are presented together with preparations of composites plasmonic-photonic crystals: the influence of SPR on the optical properties of PCs is also discussed. Main applications of this new class of composite materials are illustrated with the aim to offer the reader an overview of the recent advances in this field.

Abstract
Low color visibility and poor mechanical strength of polystyrene (PS) photonic crystal films have been the main shortcomings for the potential applications in paints or displays. This paper presents a simple method to fabricate PS/MWCNTs (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) composite photonic crystal films with enhanced color visibility and mechanical strength. First, MWCNTs was modified through radical addition reaction by aniline 2,5-double sulfonic acid diazonium salt to generate hydrophilic surface and good water dispersity. Then the MWCNTs dispersion was blended with PS emulsion to form homogeneous PS/MWCNTs emulsion mixtures and fabricate composite films through thermal-assisted method. The obtained films exhibit high color visibility under natural light and improved mechanical strength owing to the light-adsorption property and crosslinking effect of MWCNTs. The utilization of MWCNTs in improving the properties of photonic crystals is significant for various applications, such as in paints and displays.

Abstract
The self-assembly of silica microspheres into a close-packed array is a simple method of fabricating three-dimensional photonic crystal structural color films. However, the color is very dull because of the interferences of scattering and background light. In this study, we added a small quantity of surface-modified carbon black (CB) to the system of colloidal silica in n-propanol. The use of n-propanol as a dispersant is beneficial to the rapid development of photonic crystal films during the process of dip-coating. The doping of CB into silica microspheres can absorb background and scattering light, resulting in vivid structural colors.

Abstract
Since most polymers are not inherently stable to light, their photochemical behavior remains a subject of constant interest. In this study, we investigated the photoaging behavior of polymeric colloidal photonic crystal films. As a consequence of photochemical reactions containing chain-scission, photoaging induced morphological changes in the film surface including changes in the size, surface roughness, shape, and packing structure of PS particles. These structural modifications came about the deterioration of optical properties (photonic bandgap) during photoaging. Based on our results and observations, a plausible correlation between the evolutions of the optical properties and the structural modifications during photoaging was established. Finally, the compositional modifications of the surface based on oxygen incorporation behavior caused by the photooxidation process are discussed based on the ATR-FTIR and XPS analyses.
