Yang Hu et al.

Summary: Extremely sensitive MPCs film with outstanding optical performances was fabricated through the self-assembly of silica particles into DEGEEA and fixing the ordered structures by photopolymerization. The strong electrostatic repulsion between the particles was experimentally proved to be the key for the self-assembly. Compared with conventional MPCs, the as-fabricated MPCs exhibit significant improvements in optical performances.

Simple and efficient fabrication of multi-stage color-changeable photonic prints as anti-counterfeit labels

Dongpeng Yang et al.

Summary: A simple and efficient method was developed to generate color changeable photonic prints (CCPPs) with multilevel tunable color contrasts by altering the cross-linking degrees of solvent responsive photonic crystals. The optical response of each part of the CCPPs was controlled by changing the cross-linking degree of PCs, allowing reversible color change between dried state and swelling to achieve encrypted information functionality in anti-fake labels. The prepared CCPPs can reveal multistage information depending on the volume fraction of ethanol, providing new insights for simple fabrication and applications in information protection and high-level anti-counterfeiting.
