RESUMEN
Light and electrothermal responsive polymer photonic crystals (PCs) modified with 1'-acryloyl chloride-3',3'-dimethyl-6-nitro-spiro(2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-indoline) (SPMA) are proposed, and their dynamic display patterns are achieved through the combination of the SPMA-modified PCs and a patterned graphite layer. These PCs exhibit fluorescence under UV light irradiation because of the isomerization of the SPMA, which is restricted in the shell of the polymer colloidal spheres. After a voltage is applied to the patterned graphite layer, the fluorescence of PCs in the specific area disappears, and dynamic display patterns are obtained. Under UV light irradiation, the PCs change from the "partial-fluorescence" state to the initial "fluorescence" state, and the patterns disappear. Using this technique, the PC pattern "M L N" on the glass substrate and PC patterns from "0" to "9" on the paper substrate are fabricated. Thus, these dual-responsive PCs have potential applications in information recording, anticounterfeiting, dynamic display, and photoelectric devices.
