Abstract
Structural color is expected to replace traditional chemical color due to its advantages of brilliant colors, environmental friendliness and fading resistance. At present, the research of structural color mainly focuses on color saturation and color fastness. Structural colors with specific functions are urgently needed to expand their applications. In this study, poly (methyl methacrylate/tert-butyl acrylate/[3-(methyl acrylamide) propyl] trimethyl ammonium chloride) (P (MMA/t-BA/MAPTMA)) microspheres containing antibacterial quaternary ammonium salt monomer were synthesized by soap-free emulsion polymerization method. The structural color was prepared on the black polyester fabric by atomization deposition, and then sprayed polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to prepare structural color fabrics with antibacterial and superhydrophobic properties. By changing the molar ratio of the monomer, five kinds of P (MMA/t-BA/MAPTMA) microspheres with different particle sizes can be obtained, so as to obtain different structural colors of blue, purple, green, cyan and red on the polyester fabric. The inhibition rates of structural color fabric against E. coli and S. aureus are over 99 % showing excellent antibacterial properties. The water contact angles of structural color fabric after PDMS treatment can reach greater than 150° showing excellent superhydrophobicity. And the superhydrophobic structural color fabric had self-cleaning function. This study provides a new approach and strategy for the development of functional structural color textiles.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
