The responsive structural color material is a material capable of changing color under external stimulus such as temperature, humidity, electric field, magnetic field, etc. The device can feed back external stimulus in real time, and convert the external stimulus which is difficult to observe into an optical signal visible to naked eyes. Therefore, the responsive structural color material has great potential in the fields of intelligent display, anti-counterfeiting, information encryption, biological detection and the like.
However, the present responsive structural color materials are mainly focused on the responsive photonic crystal structural color materials, and most of the present photonic crystal material preparation still adopts a "top-down" strategy, such as photolithography and layer-by-layer deposition technology, to prepare the large-size material into the desired micro-nano structure. Although a plurality of high-quality micro-nano structures can be prepared by adopting a top-down strategy, the method has the defects of high cost, material waste, low time efficiency, limited structure size and the like, and the application of the method in the field of high-flux application is hindered. Therefore, developing new structural color materials, reducing the preparation period and cost thereof has important significance for further expanding the application of the structural color materials.

when the mass ratio of the first surfactant to the second surfactant in the oil-in-water system is 1:1-1:5, adding the first surfactant solution and/or the second surfactant solution into the oil-in-water system again to enable the mass ratio of the first surfactant to the second surfactant in the system to deviate from 1:1-1:5, and obtaining liquid drops with disappeared structural color by utilizing diffusion;
when the mass ratio of the first surfactant to the second surfactant in the oil-in-water system does not meet 1:1-1:5, the first surfactant solution and/or the second surfactant solution are added into the oil-in-water system again, so that the mass ratio of the first surfactant to the second surfactant in the system meets 1:1-1:5 again, and the liquid drops with the structural color reproduction can be obtained by utilizing the diffusion effect.

According to the technical scheme, compared with the prior art, the liquid drop with the responsive structural color is obtained by using two different surfactants and utilizing the cooperation of the first surfactant, the second surfactant, the hydrocarbon and the fluorocarbon.
The invention can accurately regulate and control the structural color by regulating and controlling the morphology of the liquid drops, thereby realizing responsiveness. The invention uses surfactants such as FC-4430, FC301, capstone FS-30, capstone 62MA, ZY-FC327, ZY-823, ZONLY FS300, TF282 and TF328 as first surfactants, and the first surfactants can preferentially reduce the interfacial tension between fluorocarbon and water; the use of surfactants SDS, PVA, CTAB, F-108, F-127, TWEEN20, TWEEN 40, TWEEN 60, TWEEN 80 as the second surfactant preferentially reduces the interfacial tension between hydrocarbons and water.

Specifically, when the mass ratio of the first surfactant to the second surfactant in the system is 1:1-1:5, the liquid drops are Janus liquid drops and have structural colors; when the mass ratio of the first surfactant to the second surfactant in the system does not meet 1:1-1:5, the system does not have structural color; thus, the mass ratio of the first surfactant to the second surfactant in the system is controlled, so that the structural color of the liquid drop can appear or disappear, and the response is realized.
The liquid drop consists of hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon which are mutually insoluble, and when the appearance of the liquid drop is Janus liquid drop, the characteristic that the density of the hydrocarbon is smaller than that of the fluorocarbon but the refractive index is larger than that of the fluorocarbon is utilized, so that the liquid drop can generate structural color based on the combination of total internal reflection and an interference mechanism.
After the oil-in-water system is formed by uniform mixing, the first surfactant solution and/or the second surfactant solution can be added into the system again through simple steps, the secondary oscillation is not needed, and the interface between the hydrocarbon and the fluorocarbon in the hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon liquid drop can be influenced by utilizing the diffusion action of the water phase, so that the form of the liquid drop is further changed, and the structural color of the liquid drop is disappeared or reproduced. The structural color liquid drop with the surfactant response, which is obtained by the invention, has the structural color displayed and disappeared, and the circulation of the structural color displayed and disappeared can be realized by repeatedly changing the mass ratio of the two surfactants.
In particular, the invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
(1) The preparation method of the structural color liquid drop provided by the invention is simple, is simple to operate, has low technical requirements, can conveniently prepare the structural color liquid drop with controllable micro-nano size, has cheap and easily available required raw materials, and is suitable for mass production.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In addition, the technical features of the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other.
Based on the invention, the preparation method of the structural color liquid drop with the surfactant response can be carried out according to the following steps:
(1) Preparing surfactant solution with a certain concentration:
preparing surfactant solution with a certain concentration: respectively dissolving different surfactants (namely surfactant 1 and surfactant 2; the difference between the surfactant 1 and the surfactant 2 is that the surfactant 1 can preferentially reduce the interfacial tension between fluorocarbon and water, and the surfactant 2 can preferentially reduce the interfacial tension between hydrocarbon and water) in a certain volume of deionized water to obtain a continuous phase aqueous solution of the responsive structural color liquid drops, and naming the continuous phase aqueous solution as a surfactant 1 solution and a surfactant 2 solution; the surfactant 1 can be one of FC-4430, FC301, capstone FS-30, capstone 62MA, ZY-FC327, ZY-823, ZONLY FS300, TF282 and TF328, and the concentration of the surfactant 1 can be 1-50mg/mL; surfactant 2 may be one of SDS, PVA, CTAB, F-108, F-127, TWEEN20, TWEEN 40, TWEEN 60, TWEEN 80, and the concentration of surfactant 2 may be 1-50mg/mL.
(2) The hydrocarbon and the fluorocarbon are added into a centrifuge tube according to a certain volume ratio. The hydrocarbon can be one of octadecyl methacrylate, ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, tert-butyl bromoacetate, n-butyl acrylate and dodecyl acrylate;
the fluorocarbon may be 1H, 2H-heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate 1, 3-hexafluoroisopropyl methacrylate 2, 2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate, hexafluorobutyl methacrylate, 2,3, 4-hexafluorobutyl acrylate, trifluoroethyl methacrylate. The volume ratio of hydrocarbon to fluorocarbon may be 1:1 to 1:8.
(3) And placing a centrifuge tube filled with hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon in a certain volume ratio in a vortex oscillator, and setting the oscillation speed so that the hydrocarbon and the fluorocarbon can be fully and uniformly mixed to obtain an oil phase substance of a disperse phase of the responsive structural color liquid drops. The oscillating speed can be 300-2000rpm, and the oscillating time can be 0.5-5min.

The mass ratio of the solute surfactant 1 to the surfactant 2 may be 1:1 to 1:5, and the obtained liquid droplets will show structural color at this time (of course, if the mass ratio of the solute surfactant 1 to the surfactant 2 deviates from 1:1 to 1:5, the obtained liquid droplets do not have structural color, and the structural color can be recovered by adjusting the mass ratio of the solute surfactant 1 to the surfactant 2 in the following steps).

The preparation process is that the oil phase substances are mixed in the step (3) and the step (4) respectively to form an oil-in-water system, and besides the step mixing, the two surfactant aqueous solutions and the two oil phase substances can be added into the same centrifuge tube at one time, so that the oil-in-water system which is uniformly mixed can be obtained through one-time oscillation treatment. In addition, besides the mixing realized by adopting the oscillation of a vortex oscillator, other mixing modes such as hand shaking, ultrasonic mixing, cell pulverizer treatment and the like can be adopted.
Further, in order to detect the responsiveness of the droplet, the following steps may be performed:
s1: a certain amount of surfactant 2 was added again to the droplet solution system in which the structural color had been generated, and the morphology of the droplets and the change in color were observed by a reflection-mode optical microscope.

Of course, besides adding the surfactant 2 and then adding the surfactant 1 to the system in the step S1 and the step S2, the mass ratio of the solute surfactant 1 to the surfactant 2 may deviate from 1:1 to 1:5 by adding the surfactant 1 and then adding the surfactant 2 to restore the mass ratio of the solute surfactant 1 to the surfactant 2 to 1:1 to 1:5.
