ABSTRACT
SignificanceWe propose a printable structural color ink composed of cholesteric cellulose liquid crystals together with gelatin and a thermal-responsive hydrogel. The ink is endowed with vivid structural colors and printability due to its constituents. Based on this, we print a series of graphics and three-dimensional (3D) objects with vivid color appearances. Moreover, the printed objects possess dual thermal responsiveness, which results in visible color change around body temperature. These performances, together with the biocompatibility of the constituents, indicate that the present ink represents a leap forward to the next-generation 3D printing and would unlock a wide range of real-life applications.
