Abstract:
A flexible, magnetic field induced structurally colored films with brilliant colors and high physical rigidity were reported in this article. Using an external magnetic field, the photocurable colloidal suspensions that containing superparamagnetic Fe3O4@C colloidal nanocrystal clusters (CNCs) could polymerize under UV light. After polymerization, the films with different colors (red, green, blue) were obtained. Through combination of suspensions which contains Fe3O4@C CNCs with different sizes, a series of multi-colored films were obtained. Moreover, these structural colors can be patterned easily by photolithography and various structural colored patterns were shown in the article. The structural colored patterns could conceal or display its color according to the changing of background which makes them hold significant potential applications for security materials.
