Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent materials, and in particular relates to carbon nanotube based stress-discoloring photonic crystal fibers and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: winding a height-oriented carbon nanotube as a conducting layer outside stretchable elastic polymer fibers serving as a substrate; depositing polymer microspheres by using an electrophoretic deposition method to form a photonic crystal with a periodic structure; then packaging the photonic crystal in a transparent elastomer; and finally, swelling the transparent elastomer to prepare the stress-discoloring photonic crystal fibers. The structural color of the photonic crystal fibers can be regulated and controlled by virtue of the particle size of the polymer microspheres and the sphere center distances among the microspheres. During stretching and restoring, the structural color of the photonic crystal fibers changes quickly and reversibly and comprises red, green and blue, and the color still changes quickly and stably even though the fibers are stretched for one thousand times. The photonic crystal fibers not only can be woven into many fabrics to show various patterns but also can be used as a sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent materials, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a stress-changing photonic crystal fiber. Background technique [0002] In nature, the body color of many animals can change as the environment changes, such as chameleons, cuttlefish, etc. Having this special ability can help them avoid natural enemies, regulate body temperature, prey, communicate, etc. [1,2] . Inspired by the color change of biological structures in nature, people are increasingly interested in preparing artificial functionalized materials or devices that can change color [1] . Imitating the structure of nature, the preparation of artificial functional materials has attracted a lot of attention, because the devices made of these materials have been widely used in many fields, such as smart displays, sensors, drives and so on. The color change behavior of this material under the action of light, temperature, c...
