“…However, the iridescent effect of patterned PCs obtained was still not sufficiently obvious as long-range ordered PCs. 26 Ge et al developed a method of preparing patterned PCs with angle-dependent colors by combining screen printing and photocuring process. With SiO 2 granules/monomers as ink, patterns were constructed on the substrate surface through screen printing, and the patterned PCs were finally formed by UV curing.…”

Patterned photonic crystals (PCs) have great application potential in the textile field owing to their attractive high-saturation iridescent effect. Herein, based on the idea of resist printing, a novel approach to constructing patterned photonic crystals via screen printing was designed and achieved. A colorless pattern with hydrophilic and hydrophobic difference was firstly prepared by screen printing using a hydrophilic polymer paste printed on a hydrophobic fabric, and then the PC structurally colored pattern was obtained through scrapping liquid photonic crystals (LPCs) on the fabric because the LPCs were spread and assembled in the hydrophilic pattern but resisted in the hydrophobic areas, so that to realize the rapid preparation of patterned PCs on the fabric surface. Once the contact angle difference (ΔCA) between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas exceeded 80, the "color paste" (that is, LPCs) did not stain the hydrophobic area at all after scrapping, and the assembled PCs pattern showed good contour sharpness and highsaturation iridescence effect. The complex multistructural color patterns on the fabrics were achieved by adjusting the size of nanospheres and using multistep printing and scrapping. The preparation of the protective layer on the PC surface effectively improved the structural stability of the patterned PCs while retaining the optical properties of the pattern. This patterned PCs preparation method was combined with a conventional responsive substance (rhodamine B) to obtain double anti-counterfeiting patterned PCs with the iridescence effect. The results suggested a promising future in both the highly efficient preparation of patterned PCs and the application of PCs in the anti-counterfeiting field.

With the fast development of the smart lifestyle in recent years, simple and flexible body condition monitoring has become more and more important. However, currently, commercially available motion-sensing devices always lack flexibility or at a high cost. This article has fully explored the merits of a commercial and easily available material of carbon fiber powder (CFP) and prepared CFP-based screen printing inks. This conductive ink can be directly and quickly printed onto a variety of different flexible common substrates, such as paper, cotton fabrics, etc., to prepare flexible sensors. At the same time, as a result of the good photothermal performance and conductivity of CFP, the printed flexible sensors have fast and stable performance on thermal and human motion detection. The use of CFP as the smart element to construct a wearable device will offer a choice for the intelligent industry.

“…The ordered structure composed by microspheres is a three-dimensional photonic crystal. The crystal structure has photonic bandgap characteristics, which can reflect the visible light of specific wavelengths to form structural colors [24][25][26]. By adjusting the size of the microspheres, the optical properties of a photonic crystal structure can be changed to produce diffraction effects on different wavelengths of visible light, revealing a variety of colors [20].…”

In this study, the brush method was used to construct structural color layers on the surface of European beech wood, which has wide rays. The purpose was to expand the research on the structural color modification of wood surfaces and to promote its industrial application. By comparing the structural color layers constructed through brushing on beech wood and glass surfaces, the construction speed on the wood surface was significantly faster than that on the glass surface, which was mainly attributed to the porous structure and hydrophilicity of the wood, which made the solvents to be absorbed quickly, greatly improving construction efficiency. At the same time, the wide-ray regions of the European beech wood showed distinct and excellent structural color modification effects. This specific effect was not only reflected in faster construction speeds than other regions, but also in a complete and full-color block. Moreover, by changing the particle size, raw material, and structure of the microspheres, and by brushing several times, the special construction phenomenon and decorative effect still existed. By characterizing the surface morphology and roughness of beech wood, it was found that the surface of the wide rays was flatter than other anatomical structural regions, which was more conducive to the self-assembly of microspheres and the formation of a structural color layer. The results of this study will help to advance the development of technologies such as structural color-selective modification of wood surfaces.
