胆甾型液晶 (CLC) 颗粒可以自适应地响应外部刺激的不断变化,因此广泛用于溶剂传感、图案制造和防伪等领域。以前的研究讨论了各种应用中颗粒中心的颜色变化。然而,由于复杂的双折射效应,很少有研究分析颗粒刷结构响应各种应用的颜色变化。在本文中,我们提出了一种基于中心协同颜色变化和 CLC 粒子刷结构的新型集成传感系统。该系统相对于传统系统提供了丰富且额外的传感信息。CLC 颗粒是通过混合反应性介晶、反应性手性掺杂剂、非反应性 LC 分子、以及通过使用微流体装置和随后的光聚合的光引发剂。由于布拉格反射和双折射效应,CLC颗粒在各种溶剂刺激下呈现出绚丽的中心颜色和刷状结构,这可以通过本文介绍的可能的变色机制来解释。对于概念验证应用,这种变色聚合物颗粒在多溶剂传感检测和图案显示中得到了证明。这项研究为开发具有可定制纳米结构的刺激响应性先进功能材料向从传感到显示的技术应用提供了新的见解。由于布拉格反射和双折射效应,CLC颗粒在各种溶剂刺激下呈现出绚丽的中心颜色和刷状结构,这可以通过本文介绍的可能的变色机制来解释。对于概念验证应用,这种变色聚合物颗粒在多溶剂传感检测和图案显示中得到了证明。这项研究为开发具有可定制纳米结构的刺激响应性先进功能材料向从传感到显示的技术应用提供了新的见解。由于布拉格反射和双折射效应,CLC颗粒在各种溶剂刺激下呈现出绚丽的中心颜色和刷状结构,这可以通过本文介绍的可能的变色机制来解释。对于概念验证应用,这种变色聚合物颗粒在多溶剂传感检测和图案显示中得到了证明。这项研究为开发具有可定制纳米结构的刺激响应性先进功能材料向从传感到显示的技术应用提供了新的见解。这种变色聚合物颗粒在多溶剂传感检测和图案显示中得到了证明。这项研究为开发具有可定制纳米结构的刺激响应性先进功能材料向从传感到显示的技术应用提供了新的见解。这种变色聚合物颗粒在多溶剂传感检测和图案显示中得到了证明。这项研究为开发具有可定制纳米结构的刺激响应性先进功能材料向从传感到显示的技术应用提供了新的见解。

Integrated sensing from the synergetic color change of the center/brush of cholesteric liquid crystal particles
Cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) particles can adaptively respond to constant changes in external stimuli and thus are widely used in solvent-sensing, pattern fabrication, and anti-counterfeiting. Previous studies discussed the color change at the center of the particles for various applications. However, few studies analyzed the color change of the brush structure of particles in response to various applications because of the complicated birefringence effect. In this paper, we present a novel integrated sensing system based on the synergetic color change from the center and the brush structure of CLC particles. This system provides abundant and additional sensing information relative to the traditional system. CLC particles are prepared by mixing reactive mesogens, a reactive chiral dopant, a non-reactive LC molecule, and a photoinitiator by using a microfluidic device and subsequent photopolymerization. The CLC particles exhibit gorgeous color at the center and brush structure upon various solvent stimuli because of the Bragg reflection and the birefringence effect, which is explained by the possible color-changing mechanism introduced in this paper. For proof-of-concept applications, such color-changing polymer particles are demonstrated in multi-solvent-sensing detection and pattern display. This study provides new insights into the development of stimuli-responsive advanced functional materials with tailorable nanostructures toward technological applications ranging from sensing to display.
