Abstract
A method for preparing a large-area structural chromogenic pattern by ink-jet printing, a structural chromogenic pattern obtained by the method, and an anti-counterfeiting method based on a structural color change. A dispersion liquid containing mono-disperse colloidal microspheres with high index of refraction is printed onto a piece of paper by using an ink-jet printer, and nano-microspheres are arranged and assembled on the paper to obtain a micro-structure having the features of being ordered from a short distance and disordered from a long distance. A pretty structural color can be observed by means of the interaction of the structure with light, thus displaying a pattern, changing the angle of observation, changing the brightness of the structural color, and hiding and displaying the pattern. The method is simple and convenient, is widely applicable, and can achieve the preparation and anti-counterfeiting of a large-area structural color without external stimulation.
