Abstract
Information security has become a major global problem in recent years. Thus, people continue to exert much effort in developing new information security technologies based on encryption and storage. In this study, a 2D information security technology based on polyurethane optical devices with inverse photonic glass structure (PU-IPG) is introduced. Based on 1) the swelling and plasticizing effects of various solvents on PU-IPG and 2) the capillary force that can produce geometric deformation on micro/nanostructures when solvents evaporate, a 2D information security system with two modules of decryption (structural color information display) and anticounterfeiting (structural color transformation) is successfully constructed. The spraying method adopted can be simple and fast and can provide a large area to build photonic glass templates, which greatly improves the capacity and category of information in the encryption system. The prepared PU-IPG optical devices can produce large-area multicolor output capability of information. These devices also have excellent mechanical properties, strong cycle stability, environmental friendliness, and low price. Therefore, the preparation strategy has great reference value and application prospects in the field of information security.

Abstract
Light-gated chemical reactions allow spatial and temporal control of chemical processes. Here, we suggest a new system for controlling pH-sensitive processes with light using two photobases of Arrhenius and Brønsted types. Only after light excitation do Arrhenius photobases undergo hydroxide ion dissociation, while Brønsted photobases capture a proton. However, none can be used alone to reversibly control pH due to the limitations arising from excessively fast or overly slow photoreaction timescales. We show here that combining the two types of photobases allows light-triggered and reversible pH control. We show an application of this method in directing the pH-dependent reaction pathways of the organic dye Alizarin Red S simply by switching between different wavelengths of light, i. e., irradiating each photobase separately. The concept of a light-controlled system shown here of a sophisticated interplay between two photobases can be integrated into various smart functional and dynamic systems.

Abstract
Organisms in nature have evolved unique structural colors and stimuli-responsive functions for camouflage, warning, and communication over millions of years, which are essential to their survival in harsh conditions. Inspired by these characteristics, colloidal photonic composites (CPCs) composed of colloidal photonic crystals embedded in the polymeric matrix are artificially prepared and show great promise in applications. This review focuses on the summary of building blocks, i.e., colloidal particles and polymeric matrices, and constructive strategies from the perspective of designing CPCs with robust performance and specific functionality. Furthermore, their state-of-the-art applications are also discussed, including colorful coatings, anti-counterfeiting, and regulation of photoluminescence, especially in the field of visualized sensing. Finally, current challenges and potential for future developments in this field are discussed. The purpose of this review is not only to clarify the design principle for artificial CPCs but also to serve as a roadmap for the exploration of next-generation photonic materials.

Abstract
In this study, we fabricate a new kind of ultrasensitive humidity-responsive photonic crystal (HPC) films based on emulsion polymerization and the open mill and bending-induced ordering technique (OM-BIOT) method, which is simple and scalable. The HPC film senses relative humidity (RH) from 9 to 98% for the polymer matrix swells up in high RH and shrinks in low RH, leading to a large reflectance shift (81 nm) and distinct color change. Based on the double-peak reflective spectra of the HPC film, we confirm the gradient swelling hypothesis and find that the thickness is another important factor for controlling the sensitivity and response rate of the HPC film. Except for static humidity, the HPC film can also respond to the dynamic humid flow of blowing and polar solvents, which broadens its application potential. This kind of HPC film shows a vivid structural color, and the humidity-responsive behavior is quick, distinct, energy-free, and reversible, having a great prospect for anticounterfeiting application.

Abstract
Photochromic materials are widely investigated due to their vivid color transformation for many real applications. In this work, a new kind of multiangle photochromic photonic crystal (PC) material with high robustness and long durability for smart phone decoration and anticounterfeiting features is fabricated. After thermal mixing of spiropyran powder and monodisperse core-interlayer-shell (CIS) particles, a large-area and high-quality photochromic PC film has been prepared by the self-designed bending-induced ordering technique (BIOT). The spiropyran powder can be well dispersed in the order-structured PC system, so the perfect synergistic combination of photochromism and angle-dependent structure colors can be achieved. The color-switching test for the as-prepared photochromic PC film proved its excellent reversibility and stability. Because of the excellent flexibility of the photo-cross-linked PC films, they can be designed and cut into various shapes with high robustness and long durability. Interestingly, a temperature-controlled photochromic effect was found in this photochromic PC system. Therefore, the as-prepared photochromic PC films can play a significant role in the fields of smart decoration and anticounterfeiting by their unique color switching effects under different stimuli. More importantly, our work verified the feasibility of this route to prepare a series of large-sized advanced smart PC devices by adding versatile functional materials.

Abstract
Hydrogels embedded with periodic arrays of nanoparticles display a striking photonic crystal coloration that may be useful for applications such as camouflage, anticounterfeiting, and chemical sensing. Dynamically generating color patterns requires control of nanoparticle organization within a polymer network on-demand, which is challenging. We solve this problem by creating a DNA hydrogel system that shows a 50 000-fold decrease in modulus upon heating by ∼10 °C. Magnetic nanoparticles entrapped within these DNA gels generate a structural color only when the gel is heated and a magnetic field is applied. A spatially controlled photonic crystal coloration was achieved by photopatterning with a near-infrared illumination. Color was "erased" by illuminating or heating the gel in the absence of an external magnetic field. The on-demand assembly technology demonstrated here may be beneficial for the development of a new generation of smart materials with potential applications in erasable lithography, encryption, and sensing.

Abstract
Photoresponsive materials offer local, temporal, and remote control over their chemical or physical properties under external stimuli, giving new tools for interfacial regulation. Among all, photodeformable azobenzene-containing liquid crystal polymers (azo-LCPs) have received increasing attention because they can be processed into various micro/nanostructures and have the potential to reversibly tune the interfacial properties through chemical and/or morphological variation by light, providing effective dynamic interface regulation. In this feature article, we highlight the milestones in the dynamic regulation of different interfacial properties through micro/nanostructures made of photodeformable azobenzene-containing liquid crystal polymers (azo-LCPs). We describe the preparation of different azo-LCP micro/nanostructures from the aspects of materials and processing techniques and reveal the importance of mesogen orientation toward dynamic interfacial regulation. By introducing our recently developed linear azo-LCP (azo-LLCP) with good mechanical and photoresponsive performances, we discuss the challenge and opportunity with respect to the dynamic light regulation of two- and three-dimensional (2D/3D) micro/nanostructures to tune their related interfacial properties. We have also given our expectation toward exploring photodeformable micro/nanostructures for advanced applications such as in microfluidics, biosensors, and nanotherapeutics.

Abstract
A biomimetic antibody is described for colorimetric determination of glycoprotein, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is used as model analyte. Use is made of oriented surface imprinted inverse opal hydrogel particles functionalized with phenylboronic acid. The inverse opal hydrogel particles were negatively replicated from silica colloidal crystal beads (SCCBs), so that they were endowed with larger specific surface area than the bulk structure. Benefit from that, there were abundant surface molecularly imprinting sites in the hydrogel particles. Because the imprinting sites match the structure of the template molecules, they can recognize HRP with high selectivity and sensitivity. The recognized glycoprotein was bonded with the phenylboronic acid within the sites. The bonded HRP was determined by colorimetry of 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) single-component solution at 450 nm, and it shows a 16.03 imprinting factor under optimized conditions. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was also investigated and demostrated the value of this strategy in practical applications. The results show that the absorbance increases linearly in the 1-50 ng mL-1 AFP concentration range and has a 1.32 ng mL-1 detection limit. The assay of human serum was realized by the standard addition method. This strategy is promising to open new horizons for glycoprotein assay. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of the preparation of oriented boronate affinity-imprinted inverse opal hydrogel particles for glycoprotein assay.

Abstract
Patterned colloidal crystals with stimuli-responsive materials provide sensitive and versatile means for investigating the varying ambiance of heat, light, electricity, magnetism, and stress. However, it remains a challenge to integrate stimuli-responsive materials with colloidal crystals by a simple and efficient method, thus restricting them from being used in general applications. Inspired from chameleons, we present a facile yet high-quality approach for the fabrication of the assembly of colloidal nanoparticles based on the hydrophilic-modified thermosensitive films. Various kinds of integral thermosensitive structural colored (TSSC) films are simply prepared in a high-quality screen on a large scale, with low cost, angle independence, and excellent flexibility. Simply turning on the near-infrared (NIR) laser brings heat to the irradiated region to increase the temperature. Integration of the multi-colored photonic bandgap (PBG) of the thermal-sensitive colloidal crystal and flexible anti-counterfeit labels into the NIR light exciting screens can change the intensity of PBG obviously. This advanced technology not only provides an efficient strategy for the preparation of colloidal crystal but also demonstrates a highly thermosensitive structural colored screen that has great prospect for information storage, anticounterfeiting, and real-time display materials.

Abstract
Intracellular thiols (e.g., cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione) play critical roles in biological functions. Glutathione is the most abundant cellular thiol which is important for preserving redox homeostasis in biosystems. Herein, we demonstrated the fabrication of responsive photonic crystals (RPCs) for selective detection of thiol-containing biomolecules through the combination of self-assembly of monodisperse carbon-encapsulated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) and in situ photopolymerization. Typically, the polyacrylamide-based PCs were prepared by a cross-linking agent containing disulfide bonds. Interestingly, the specific chemical reaction between the disulfide bonds and thiol-containing biomolecules leads to the decrease of the cross-linking degree for the RPCs, triggering the swelling of the hydrogel and increase of the NP lattice spacing. The reduced glutathione (10-6 to 10-2 mol/L) can be determined by measuring the diffracted wavelength or visually observing the structural color change. Moreover, the RPCs can be used to detect different kinds of thiol-containing biomolecules by a simple color variation due to different reaction rates between disulfide bonds and different thiol-containing biomolecules. This study provides a facile yet effective strategy for visualized determination of the thiol-containing biomolecules.

HYPOTHESIS Ultrasensitive detections with enrichment approaches based on hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterns have attracted increasing attention in the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, most of these techniques involve complicated micro-fabrications and chemical modifications to achieve their specific pattern substrate wettability. Hence, the development of a simple and effective approach for the construction of new surface wettability techniques for ultrasensitive detection is with great expectations. EXPERIMENTS We present a simple approach to fabricate the superwettable colloidal crystal (CC) micropatterns on superhydrophobic Morpho butterfly wing surface for the ultrasensitive detection. The superwettable CC micropatterns were easily obtained by infiltrating and self-assembling monodispersed silica colloidal nanoparticles on the plasma treated butterfly wing patterns. The analytes could be enriched onto the hydrophilic CC area due to the wettability difference between the hydrophilic CC area and the superhydrophobic substrate. FINDINGS It was demonstrated that the detection limit of thrombin was down to 1.8 × 10-13 mol L-1 based on the fluorophore-labeled aptamer. Moreover, with two-dimensional position codes of these CC micropatterns for different probes, the multiplex detection capability was also demonstrated with great accuracy. As the elimination of complex instruments and chemical modifications, this proposed platform offers a simple strategy for ultrasensitive multiplex detection in practical applications.

Abstract
Easy and cost-effective production of high-quality photonic crystals (PCs) remains challenging but attractive, not just because they are a type of gemstone but more for their scientific applications (e.g., serving as lossless waveguides, visual sensors, novel pigments and novel separation media). Herein presented is a separation-cooperated assembly (SCA) strategy able to organize cheap polydisperse particles into PCs. Its feasibility was validated through sink-induced SCA of poorly disperse (size variation up to 56%) particles into iridescent liquid PCs in 3 days or more. Strikingly, with a sharp photonic band gap down to 10 nm (ca. 1/7 of the reported 66 nm), the liquid PCs are able to cyclically recover their iridescent color in ca 20 s after agitation, and keep their structural order after dryness, making them practicable to write and paint directly. Also significant is that SCA yielded uniform particles with size variation down to 0.7%. It is thus an easy way to isolate homogeneous particles from disperse ones.
