Polymer-based responsive structural color materials are polymers with ordered microstructures that can change colors, providing unique advantages and novel solutions for various industries. This study offers a comprehensive review of these materials, covering polymer selection, structure fabrication, response mechanisms, and applications, while also discussing the current challenges and future developments. It is expected that this review will promote interdisciplinary communications and collaborations across multiple fields.
Polymer-based responsive structural color materials are polymers with ordered microstructures that can change colors. They offer unique advantages and present a novel solution for many industries. Despite the presence of classic review papers on responsive photonic materials, a comprehensive review of polymer-based responsive structural color materials, including funda- mental research and applications, is still lacking. This study provides a detailed overview of polymer-based responsive structural color materials, including polymer selection, structure fabrication, response mechanisms, and applications. The current challenges and future de- velopments are also presented. It is hoped that this review will encourage interdisciplinary communications across physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials science, and engineering.
