Problems solved by technology

However, the existing technology of adjusting the color of cholesteric liquid crystals through the isomerization of ultraviolet light-responsive groups has two main defects: one is that the ultraviolet light has high energy, which is easy to cause damage to organisms, and at the same time, the penetration ability of ultraviolet light Weaker, which severely limits its application; second, the color of cholesteric liquid crystals generally changes within tens of minutes or even less after the light is terminated, and it is difficult to maintain long-term stability, which is not conducive to on-demand design

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of light responsive materials, and particularly relates to a cholesteric-phase liquid crystal material with a color controlled by visible light. The invention discloses the cholesteric-phase liquid crystal material with the color controlled by the visible light. The cholesteric-phase liquid crystal material is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 30 to 99 parts of nematic liquid crystals, 0.9 to 50 parts of a non-substitutive azobenzene derivative and 0.1 to 50 parts of a substitutive chiral azobenzene derivative. The colorof the cholesteric-phase liquid crystal material has the visible light responsiveness; furthermore, after illumination is stopped, the color of the liquid crystal material can be stably maintained fora long time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photoresponsive materials, and more specifically relates to a cholesteric liquid crystal material whose color can be regulated by visible light. Background technique [0002] The most direct and effective anti-counterfeiting technology is to distinguish the authenticity without any tools. For example, given a certain light stimulus, the observer can identify the material, hardness, texture, graphics, color, etc. by changing the angle or directly touching it. Security Information. The visual color-changing anti-counterfeiting technology obtained by using the ordered structure of liquid crystal and its polymer, photolithographic grating and multi-step polarization polymerization method belongs to this category. Because the color of this type of anti-counterfeiting material is easy to distinguish, and its color changes significantly under the light stimulation of time and space, therefore, the products made...
