Abstract

The invention discloses a method of driving a flexible photonic crystal to change color based on a shape memory alloy polymer. With the shape memory alloy as a base material and a rigid structural member and a silicone rubber as composite materials, a driver is prepared; the flexible photonic crystal is then prepared and placed on the driver, DC is supplied to the driver to achieve deformation, and the flexible photonic crystal generates uniaxial stretching and color changing. The shape memory alloy polymer is used to drive the flexible photonic crystal to change color, the problems of insufficient flexibility and over high voltage of an electrochromic structure can be solved, the method is applicable to color changing occasions with high requirements on shape adaptability and use safety,and has important application potential in fields such as flexible display, anti-counterfeiting treatment, human assistance and smart cities.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochromism, and in particular relates to a method for driving a flexible photonic crystal to change color based on a shape memory alloy polymer. Background technique [0002] Photonic Materials (Photonic Materials) is an optical system with a nano-scale periodic arrangement on the surface. Different from the traditional color rendering mechanism, the macroscopic color of photonic crystals is produced by the complex interference phenomenon produced by the interaction between nanostructures that are close to the wavelength scale of light and light. When changing the nanostructure of photonic crystals and their arrangement At the same time, its macro color will change accordingly, and then realize the functions of display and camouflage. This special mechanism gives the material a series of unique optical phenomena and properties. Compared with the chemical colors of traditional pigments, structural colors...
