Abstract:
Using direct laser writing, arrays of optically responsive ionogel structures were fabricated. To demonstrate their responsive nature, visible colour changes in the presence of different solvent vapours were investigated. This represents a new departure for photonic structural colouration, in which the fabricating structure shows a programmable, controllable, and dynamic stimuli response.
