Abstract:

Polyester fabrics with different fabric structure were chosen as the base material to explore the feasibility of structural color applying to textile coloration and the influences of the fabric structure on the strutural color development of photonic crystals. Black polyester fabrics with different structure were chosen as the base material. SiO2 microspheres with high roundness, excellent monodispersity and diameter ranging from 150 nm to 300 nm, were prepared by Stöber method. The photonic crystals on polyester fabrics with ordered arrangement were fabricated by vertical deposition self-assembly of SiO2 microspheres, and exhibited brilliant structural colors .The Lambda-35 UV-VIA spectrometer were applied to confirm the color difference of structure color on polyester fabric with different fabric structure. It proved that under the same self-assembly process conditions, the reflection difference caused by different fabric surface structure influences the luster of structural color on the fabric . Compared with satin fabric, the luster of structural color on plain fabrics is more shiny.
