Place the three-dimensional photonic crystals in a polytetrafluoroethylene mold, pour the polymer precursor into the mold, and stand in the dark for 2-5 min until the mixed solution completely fills the gap between the spheres in the photonic crystals.
Place the photomask with patterns above the mold, so that the pictures and texts information area is partially shaded, while the background area is exposed, and put it into a 36
W ultraviolet lamp for light polymerization for 100~300 min. Photonic crystals assembled by polymer microspheres have been embedded in the hydrogel. At this time, uncover the obtained structural color hydrogel from the hydrophilic glass sheet, and soak and wash it with a large amount of clean water (ultra-pure water) to remove the residual reactants and by-products, so as to obtain the multi-responsive structural color hydrogel finally.
The thickness of the obtained hydrogel is determined by the liquid level height of the polymer precursor injected into the mold. The thickness of the finally obtained hydrogel is preferably 1-4 mm.
The principle of the invention is as follows: (1) In the process of photoinitiated polymerization, the part with higher light intensity has higher polymerization degree and crosslinking degree, and the swelling degree in solvents (such as water and ethanol) is lower; However, in the area with weak light intensity, the polymerization degree and crosslinking degree are low, and the swelling degree in solvent is high. Because the swelling degree of different areas is different, the period of embedding photonic crystals in hydrogel is also different, and the wavelength of its diffracted light is also different, which eventually forms the color difference between the background part and the pattern part, so it shows different pictures and texts information. (2) Because the swelling degree of hydrogel is different in different solvents, the colors of pattern and background of the structural color multi-responsive hydrogel are also different in different solvents. (3) In the process of stretching or extrusion, due to the deformation of the structural color multi-responsive hydrogel, the internal microsphere period will also change accordingly, resulting in the overall color change of the hydrogel. (4) According to Bragg diffraction law, the wavelength of diffracted light of photonic crystal materials is related to the angle of incident light and the angle of emergent light.
° LU504033
Therefore, when the observation angle is changed, the structural color multi-response hydrogel samples will also show different colors.
Therefore, in order to overcome the defects and technical deficiencies of the existing single-responsive photonic crystal material technology, the method of the invention provides a structural color multi-responsive hydrogel. The more response characteristics of a structural color hydrogel, the more information can be obtained; and the reliability of its response signal can be enhanced through the mutual comparison and reference of different signals, and the possibility of interference by other factors can be reduced, thereby improving its anti- counterfeiting level. According to the preparation method for the structural color multi- responsive hydrogel provided by the invention, the structural color hydrogel with solvent response, angle response, gas response and mechanical force response can be obtain.
The result color multi-responsive hydrogel in this application has the following characteristics: (1) Concealment: in the dry state, because the refractive index difference between the dried gel matrix and polymer microspheres is small, the diffraction effect is small, and the structural color pattern is difficult to observe with naked eyes; after solvent soaking and gel swelling, the refractive index difference between the swollen polymer and polymer microspheres becomes larger, and the diffraction effect becomes stronger, showing a structural color pattern visible to the naked eye. (2) Solvent responsiveness: because the swelling degree of gel polymer is different in different solvents, the period of microspheres in the gel after swelling is different, the wavelength of diffracted light is different, and their patterns are different. Due to the solvent responsiveness of structural color hydrogel, it is difficult to forge, and it is also endowed with the ability to indicate different solutions (such as different alcohols, different degrees of alcohol, etc.). (3) Mechano-color-changing ability: stretching or extruding the hydrogel can make it deform in different degrees, which can change the wavelength of diffracted light, change the color of its pattern, enhance the anti-counterfeiting effect, and endow it with mechanical sensing ability. (4) Dependence of color angle: according to Bragg diffraction law, the wavelength of diffracted light of structural color hydrogel is related to the angle of incident light and the angle of emergent light, so the samples of structural color multi-responsive hydrogel will show
’ LU504033 different colors when the observation angle is changed, which will increase its anti- counterfeiting effect.
Compared with the existing technology, the invention has the following advantages: (1) according to the invention, firstly, monodisperse polymer microspheres are self- assembled into three-dimensional photonic crystals, then hydrophilic monomers acrylamide and carboxymethyl chitosan are filled into the inter-spherical gaps in the photonic crystals, and structural color composite hydrogel with specific pictures and texts information is prepared by photo-initiated polymerization and controlling the illumination intensity of different areas through mask technology. (2) According to the invention, the polymers in different areas in the hydrogel have different cross-linking degrees through the mask technology, so that it can obtain different swelling properties under solvent infiltration and finally display different colors; moreover, due to the different swelling degrees of the polymer in different solvents, it can obtain solvent responsiveness, that is, the colors of pictures and texts information are different under different solvent infiltration; in addition, the lattice constant of the photonic crystals in the hydrogel changes during the stretching deformation process, which will also lead to the red shift/blue shift of the color of the anti-counterfeiting pattern, so that it has a mechanochromic effect. (3) Therefore, the structural color hydrogel in the invention has multiple effects such as solvent response, gas response, mechanical force response, color angle dependence, etc., and is difficult to forge, and has a good application prospect in anti-counterfeiting of tobacco and alcohol commodities, anti-counterfeiting of high-end luxury goods, anti-counterfeiting of electronic science and technology products, etc.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The raw materials used in the following embodiments are all commercially available products or made according to conventional methods or references unless otherwise specified.
Embodiment 1
The preparation method for structural color multi-responsive hydrogel provided by this embodiment includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of polystyrene three-dimensional photonic crystals: (S1) the three-dimensional photonic crystals are self-assembled by vertical sedimentation method: clean the commercial glass sheets, then soak them in concentrated sulfuric acid/hydrogen peroxide=7:3v/v for 24 h, and then carry out hydrophilic treatment.
Dilute monodisperse polystyrene microsphere emulsion (particle size of microsphere is 180 nm) with water until the mass fraction is 0.2wt% and inject it into a penicillin bottle.
Subsequently, insert the glass sheet after hydrophilic treatment vertically into the diluted polystyrene microsphere emulsion, fix it, place it in a constant temperature and humidity box, stand it at the constant temperature and humidity environment with the relative humidity of 55% and the temperature of 55°C for 5 days; and after the water evaporates, the microspheres are assembled on the glass sheet to obtain three-dimensional photonic crystals (They can also be called polymer photonic crystals). (2) A preparation method for structural color multi-responsive hydrogel comprises the following steps: (S2) put 0.12 g of carboxymethyl chitosan in a centrifuge tube, add 4 mL of ultrapure water for ultrasonic dispersion, and when it is transparent and uniform, add 1.6 g of acrylamide and 0.04 g of photo-crosslinking agent N-N'- methylene bisacrylamide in turn, and disperse ultrasonically until uniform.
Subsequently, dissolve 0.12 g of water-soluble photoinitiator azodiisobutylamidine 904099 hydrochloride in 0.5 mL of ultrapure water, then add the dissolved initiator solution into the above mixed solution, and mix uniformly to obtain the polymer precursor (i.e. mixed solution of polymer precursor). (S3) Place the three-dimensional photonic crystals in a polytetrafluoroethylene mold, pour the polymer precursor into the mold, and stand in the dark for 5 min until the mixed solution completely fills the gap between the spheres in the photonic crystals. (S4) Place the photomask with patterns above the mold, so that the pictures and texts information area is partially shaded, while the background area is exposed, and put it into a 36
W ultraviolet lamp for light polymerization for 240 min, so as to carry out polymerization. (The mask plate is a transparent PET plastic sheet with a thickness of 0.2 mm, which is made by drawing different patterns on the PET sheet with a commercial oily pen. In this embodiment, three different masks are used: (1) Arabic numeral "2" and solid circular hollow "" (corresponding to Figs 2 and 3); (2) letters "Z", "K" and rhombus (corresponding to Fig. 4); (3)
Blank mask (corresponding to Fig. 5); (4) Arabic numeral "2" (corresponding to Fig. 6)). (SS) After the polymerization, photonic crystals assembled by polymer microspheres have been embedded in the hydrogel. At this time, uncover the obtained structural color hydrogel from the hydrophilic glass sheet, and soak and wash it with a large amount of clean water to remove the residual reactants and by-products, so as to obtain the multi-responsive structural color hydrogel finally.
The thickness of the obtained hydrogel is determined by the liquid level height of the polymer precursor injected into the mold. The thickness of the finally obtained hydrogel is 2 mm.
The scanning electron microscope image of the structural color multi-responsive hydrogel in this Embodiment is shown in Fig. 1. From Fig. 1, it can be seen that polystyrene microspheres with a particle size of 170 nm have been embedded in the polymer matrix.
The structural color multi-responsive hydrogel in this Embodiment in a dry state is shown in Fig. 2. From Fig. 2, it can be seen that at this time, the structural color hydrogel is translucent and yellowish, and the pattern information is hidden and cannot be recognized by naked eyes.
Therefore, the structural multi-responsive hydrogel in the invention has concealment. In the dry state, because the refractive index difference between the dried gel matrix and polymer microspheres is small, the diffraction effect is small, and the structural color pattern is difficult to observe with naked eyes; after solvent soaking and gel swelling, the refractive index
© LU504033 difference between the swollen polymer and polymer microspheres becomes larger, and the diffraction effect becomes stronger, showing a structural color pattern visible to the naked eye.
The photograph of the structural color multi-responsive hydrogel of this Embodiment in the state of water immersion and ethanol immersion is shown in Fig. 3, in which the upper picture shows the response effect of the hydrogel in water and the lower picture shows the response effect of the hydrogel in ethanol. As can be seen from Fig. 3, in water, the pattern part is orange red, while the background part is green, which is in sharp contrast and the pictures and texts information can be read. In ethanol, the pattern part is green, while the background part is blue, which is in sharp contrast and the pictures and texts information can be read. In different solvents, the colors of display patterns are obviously different.
Therefore, the structural multi-responsive hydrogel in the invention has solvent responsiveness. Because the swelling degree of gel polymer is different in different solvents, the period of microspheres in the gel after swelling is different, the wavelength of diffracted light is different, and their patterns are different. Due to the solvent responsiveness of structural color hydrogel, it is difficult to forge, and it is also endowed with the ability to indicate different solutions (such as different alcohols, different degrees of alcohol, etc.).
The photograph of the structural color multi-responsive hydrogel of this Embodiment at different observation angles are shown in Fig. 4, in which the top picture shows the response effect of the hydrogel at 90°, and the bottom picture shows the response effect of the hydrogel at 30°. From Fig. 4, it can be seen that when observed vertically at 90°, the pattern part is green and the background part is orange red, while when observed obliquely at 30°, the pattern part is blue and the background part is green. It shows that the display color of multi-responsive structural color hydrogel changes obviously from different angles.
Therefore, the structural multi-responsive hydrogel in the invention has dependence of color angle. According to Bragg diffraction law, the wavelength of diffracted light of structural color hydrogel is related to the angle of incident light and the angle of emergent light, so the samples of structural color multi-responsive hydrogel will show different colors when the observation angle is changed, which will increase its anti-counterfeiting effect.
The color change of the structural color multi-responsive hydrogel in this Embodiment at different stretching degrees is shown in Fig. 5. As can be seen from Fig. 5, with the gradual elongation of the hydrogel, its color gradually shifts to blue, from orange to green, and finally to blue.
U LU504033
Therefore, the structural multi-responsive hydrogel in the invention has mechano-color- changing ability. Stretching or extruding the hydrogel can make it deform in different degrees, which can change the wavelength of diffracted light, change the color of its pattern, enhance the anti-counterfeiting effect, and endow it with mechanical sensing ability.
As shown in Fig. 6, the change of the dry structural color multi-response hydrogel in this
Embodiment after fumigation with steam gas, with the extension of fumigation time, the hidden pattern (Arabic numeral "2") in the dry hydrogel sample gradually emerges, with a light red background and a gray-green text pattern.
Therefore, the structural color multi-responsive hydrogel in the invention has gas response ability, and the dry hydrogel is fumigated by steam, and as the hydrogel absorbs water, the sample gradually swells. Because of the difference of cross-linking degree between the background area and the pattern area, the degree of swelling by absorbing water and is also different, which leads to different periods of microspheres in the gel after the swelling by absorbing water, different wavelengths of diffracted light and different colors of patterns.
