Fast water-response double-inverse opal films with brilliant structural color

Changtong Zhou et al.

Summary: The construction of novel photonic structures enables the creation of stimuli-responsive functional materials. The innovative water-response double-inverse opal (WRDIO) films, fabricated by introducing polystyrene microspheres into the inverse-opal backbone, exhibit fast response time and brilliant structural color. The deprotonation of carboxyl groups in the inverse-opal backbone enhances hydrophilicity, facilitating water penetration, while high-proportioned carboxylic anions cause rapid swelling of WRDIO film in water. The broad-spectrum shifting of WRDIO film depends on the composition of the ethanol-water mixture, showing potential applications in anti-counterfeiting and sensors.

Floating solid-state thin films with dynamic structural colour

Zhiyuan Yan et al.

Summary: A method to modify the thickness and sequence of innermost solid-state thin-film layers has been reported, allowing for dynamic changes in structural colors of the stack. By applying a voltage bias, a silver layer can be made to float either above or below an oxide layer in a thin-film architecture, potentially providing opportunities for dynamically reconfiguring thin-film-based functional nanodevices in situ.

Artificial Chameleon Skin with Super-Sensitive Thermal and Mechanochromic Response

Yue Wu et al.

Summary: The dynamic camouflage of chameleons relies on the nonclose-packed structure and large refractive index contrast, which inspired researchers to construct photonic crystals with similar characteristics using a two-step filling strategy. The designed photonic crystal demonstrates high sensitivity to external stimuli, similar to the skin of chameleons.
