Abstract:

In order to mitigate environmental problem during printing and dyeing of textiles, photonic crystal structural color has been applied to knitted fabrics. Firstly, a range of uniform silica nanoparticles were synthesized in different but controllable diameter. Through gravity sedimentation, silica nanoparticles were then self-assembled on different knitted fabrics, obtaining structural colors. The effect of sedimentation conditions such as silica diameter, sedimentation temperature and fabric structure on the structural color of knitted fabrics were studied. The results show that the peak wavelength of the structural color of the fabrics is determined by the diameter of the silica nanoparticles, and the relationship between color and wavelength is following the Bragg's law. It is showed that the structural color on the knitted fabrics is improved when silica nanoparticles fabricated on a smoother weft plain stitches and at a lower sedimentation temperature.

Key words: structural color, silica nanoparticles, photonic crystal, knitted fabric, sedimentation self-assembly
