Abstract
Flexible electronics have garnered significant attention in various applications, including wearable devices, disease diagnosis, and healthcare monitoring. Herein, inspired by the extensibility of skin and the color-changing principles observed in chameleons, a special conductive and stretchable structural color film is designed for visualizing flexible electronics. This inverse opal composite film (PEDOT-PVDF(HFP)-IO film) is fabricated by integrating poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PVDF(HFP)), and photonic crystal (PC) structures through electro-polymerization, self-assembly, thermal evaporation, and template sacrifice process. The PEDOT-PVDF(HFP)-IO film displays stable optical and electrical dual signal sensing, which results from the PC structures of the PVDF(HFP) layer and the conductivity of the PEDOT layer. Notably, the film exhibits an interactive color-changing capability, along with stable and sensitive conductivity during dynamic movements, making it suitable for use as a photoelectric sensing platform. This study can present a novel research approach for the visualization of flexible electronics.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
