Abstract
The colorful, unfading, and eco-friendly photonic crystal structural colors have attracted wide interest from textile researchers. However, to minimize the interference of incoherently scattered light, the preparation of the structural color fabric is still based on the black fabric, which seriously restricts the practical application of the structural colors in textile dyeing and finishing. This paper presented a straightforward strategy to construct structural colors on the fabrics by assembling polysulfide microspheres (PSMs) with self-absorbing light properties. The monodisperse PSMs were successfully synthesized through a polycondensation process between Na2S2 and 1,2,3-trichloropropane, whose particle size can be controlled by adjusting the volume ratio of ethanol-water. Four different structural colors were successfully obtained on white polyester fabric by varying the diameter of the PSMs arranged on the fabric surface in a face-centered cubic structure. Notably, the designed structural color fabrics had a low angle dependence, which was more meaningful for the textile color measuring and matching system.
