Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Optics
  • Polymer Science

Background:

  • Structural colors offer dye-free, electronic-free visual effects via light interference, diffraction, or scattering.
  • Flexible optical sensing is a promising area for advanced material applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple fabrication strategy for mechanically responsive structural color materials.
  • To investigate the tunability and stability of structural colors in wrinkled photonic elastomers.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of wrinkled photonic elastomers (WPEs) using a stretch-plasma-release (S-P-R) strategy.
  • Tuning wrinkle period via plasma power, exposure time, pre-stretch ratio, and film thickness.
  • Utilizing a dumbbell-shaped substrate for improved wrinkle uniformity.

Main Results:

  • Achieved tunable wrinkle periods from 0.4-3.42 μm.
  • Demonstrated mechanically responsive structural colors with reflection peak shifts from 356 nm to 658 nm.
  • Showcased stable color erasure and recovery over multiple loading-unloading cycles.

Conclusions:

  • The S-P-R method provides a viable route to mechanically tunable structural colors in WPEs.
  • These WPEs exhibit excellent optical tunability and mechanical compliance.
  • Potential applications include wearable devices, security marking, and anti-counterfeiting.
