Research progress of biomimetic structural color technology and its application in textile field
Significance The conventional printing and dyeing sector of the textile industry is known to face serious problems with environmental pollution,excessive energy consumption,and other obstacles,and there is hence an urgent need to promote green reforms for sustainable development of the textile industry.The capacity of structural color to provide textile substrate coloring without the use of chemical colorants like dyes and pigments,which is one breakthrough in addressing the current high pollution of dyeing.As a result,the textile printing and dyeing industry may become more competitive,sustainable,and profitable.This paper will look into the production of structural color fibers,their use in the textile industry,and potential future applications for structural colors.Progress Structural colors are produced by the physical interaction of periodic structures with light and differ from chemical or pigment coloring due to fundamental differences in their respective mechanisms.The surface morphology and interior microstructure of the materials affect the hue and brightness of structural colors,which offer a lot of potential for creating fiber versatility.Dyeing fabrics using photonic crystals not only provides the fabric a structural color but also adds other features like responsiveness and hydrophobicity.Polystyrene(PS),polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA)and silicon dioxide(SiO2)spheres are typical materials for obtaining structural colors.Inert black carbon fibers may be made multicolored using one of the most efficient processes for creating structural colors,ALD.The colors have high washing resistance,which gives the carbon fibers a hydrophobic quality.At present,spraying/scraping,vertical deposition,gravity deposition,dip-coating,layer-by-layer self-assembly,electrophoretic deposition,electrospinning,magnetic sputtering,and atomic layer deposition are available for the preparation of structural color fibers.Based on these methods,researchers have made efforts to explore the applications of structural colors,especially in the fields of textile printing and dyeing,smart wearables,smart textiles and sensors.Conclusion and Prospect This review analyzed the formation mechanism of structural coloring,systematically summarized the current main preparation methods of structural coloring fibers,and further explored the multidimensional applications of structural coloring in the textile field.The future development of the textile industry will be centered on eco-friendly green industrial technologies,and it is an inevitable trend to use structural colors to dye textile materials and provide them with a variety of applications.While ushering in new development opportunities,structural color is also facing some great challenges,mainly including the urgent need for new technologies to improve the color richness and mechanical,the development of new structural color materials,and breakthroughs in the scale of the preparation technology to improve the product ecology.With the in-depth research on structural colors and the continuous progress of preparation technology,the application scenarios of structural colors in many fields,such as material science,biomedicine,textiles and more.Structural color is expected to become an indispensable part of life.
