“…Overall, the color is changing as 𝛼 is increasing for all CO coated sample confirming an iridescent effect also in these samples. To optimize/improve the structur color on PES and CO samples it will be necessary to do a pre-coating (with biopolyme or conventional finishing agents) of the fabrics in order to smooth their surface [32][33][34] This will be addressed in future experiments of this research, which are expected to b another step into a bio-ecological and sustainable future. To further understand the structural color behavior in textiles, IP-BRDF simulatio were performed using a different light source.…”

Poly(styrene-methyl methacrylate-acrylic acid) photonic crystals (PCs), with five different sizes (170, 190, 210, 230 and 250 nm), were applied onto three plain fabrics, namely polyamide, polyester and cotton. The PC-coated fabrics were analyzed using scanning electronic microscopy and two UV/Vis reflectance spectrophotometric techniques (integrating sphere and scatterometry) to evaluate the PCs’ self-assembly along with the obtained spectral and colors characteristics. Results showed that surface roughness of the fabrics had a major influence on the color produced by PCs. Polyamide-coated fabrics were the only samples having an iridescent effect, producing more vivid and brilliant colors than polyester and cotton samples. It was observed that as the angle of incident light increases, a hypsochromic shift in the reflection peak occurs along with the formation of new reflection peaks. Furthermore, color behavior simulations were performed with an illuminant A light source on polyamide samples. The illuminant A simulation showed greener and yellower structural colors than those illuminated with D50. The polyester and cotton samples were analyzed using scatterometry to check for iridescence, which was unseen upon ocular inspection and then proven to be present in these samples. This work allowed a better comprehension of how structural colors and their iridescence are affected by the textile substrate morphology and fiber type.

“…Nonetheless, the direct incorporation of black material can induce uneven color due to physical deposition [15], and the utilization of dopamine is hindered by its high cost [16]. Moreover, the bonding strength between the structural color film and fabric substrate remains weak, primarily relying on a limited presence of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces [17]. The capillary effect generated during solvent evaporation induces transverse tensile stresses, ultimately forming cracks in the film [18,19].…”

Traditional textile dyeing uses chemical pigments and dyes, which consumes a large amount of water and causes serious environmental pollution. Structural color is an essential means of achieving green dyeing of textiles, and thin-film interference is one of the principles of structural coloring. In the assembly of structural color films, it is necessary to introduce dark materials to suppress light scattering and improve the brightness of the fabric. In this study, the conditions for the generation of nanofilms of catechin (CC) at the gas–liquid interface were successfully investigated. At the same time, environmentally friendly colored silk fabrics were novelly prepared using polycatechin (PCC) structural color films. In addition, it was found that various structural colors were obtained on the surface of silk fabrics by adjusting the time. Meanwhile, the color fastness of the structural colored fabrics was improved by introducing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to form a strong hydrogen bond between the fabric and catechin. PCC film is uniform and smooth, with a special double-layer structure, and can be attached to the surface of silk fabrics, giving the fabrics special structural colors. Through the thin-film interference formed between the visible light and the PCC film, the silk fabrics obtain bright, controllable, and uniform structural colors. This method is easy to operate and provides a new way of thinking for environmental-protection-oriented coloring of fabrics.

“…To enhance color saturation, researchers have introduced melanin particles including carbon black, graphene, and polypyrrole into the ACA to reduce the negative impact of incoherent diffracted light in the visible range on the color saturation (Takeoka et al 2013;Zhang et al 2018;Yang et al 2016). Dopamine (PDA) is one of the most researched synthetic melanins, and the large number of catechols and amines within its molecule ensures that it adheres to virtually any substrate surface without being affected by physical and chemical properties (Xiao et al 2017;Zhou et al 2023). It has been found that by doping a small amount of PDA into photonic crystal microspheres, the saturation of the color of the assembled structure of the microspheres and the color fastness of the resulting photonic crystal structure can be greatly improved.…”

Vat dyeing is the mainstream process of cotton fabric dyeing at present, but the high toxicity of the reducing agent and the high cost of dyeing waste liquid treatment make the process no longer meet the requirements of green and sustainable development of society. The photonic crystal structure color, which is made of nanoscale colloidal microspheres arranged in an orderly manner as structural units, is expected to be a new printing and dyeing technology, that provides a new way of thinking for dyeing cotton fabrics. However, the practical applications of photonic crystal structural colors on textile fabrics are hampered by their inadequate stability, muted color saturation, and weak mechanical properties. In this study, P(St-BA-MAA) nanospheres with a hard-core-soft-shell structure were prepared by soapless emulsion polymerization, and then P(St-BA-MAA)@PGA-Fe3+ photonic composite inks were prepared by forming a dark-colored coating film on the surface of the microspheres through the complexation of gallic acid with Fe3+. It was found that the performance of the prepared P(St-BA-MAA)@PGA-Fe3+ photonic composite ink was stable, and the dark metallic-polyphenol network film enabled the formation of vibrant non-iridescent structured colors on cotton fabrics, the soft shell of the seeded microspheres also significantly improved the adhesion between the ink and the fabrics, and the structural color fastness was greatly improved compared with the PS microspheres. The preparation of this photonic composite ink is facile, low-cost, and produces a bright color, providing practical value for the development of textile products that construct structural color effects on textile substrates.
