Abstract Photonic crystals (PCs) constructed from colloidal building blocks have attracted increasing attention because their brilliant structural colors may find broad applications in paints, sensors, displays, and security devices. However, producing high‐quality on flexible substrates such as textiles an efficient scalable manner remains a challenge. Here robust ultrafast approach to produce industrial‐scale PCs by the shear‐induced assembly of liquid polystyrene beads pre‐formed...
In this letter, an optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system based on a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) receiver is presented. SPAD detectors do not require transimpedance amplifier as they operate in the Geiger mode. This poses challenges detecting continuous data carrying signals. However, we show that OFDM signals can indeed be detected, and bit error ratio performances of both dc-biased asymmetrically clipped are investigated. The investigations carried out...
The structural coloration of textiles with bionic photonic crystals (PCs) is expected to become a critical approach the ecological textiles. Rapid and large-area preparation PC structurally colored can be achieved via self-assembly high mass fractions liquid (LPCs). However, rapid large-scale manufacturing LPCs remains challenge. In this work, pH regulator added in process emulsion polymerization solve problem phase transformation caused by thermal decomposition initiator produce H
Over the past years, photonic crystals (PCs) with a periodically ordered nanostructure have attracted great attention due to their potential as advanced optical materials for structural coloration of textiles. However, weak stability PCs on flexible textile substrates makes them vulnerable strong external forces, hampering large-scale application. In this work, waterborne polyurethane (wPU) is chosen enhancing PCs. The composite (PCs/wPU) show both brilliant colors and significantly improved...
Responsive photonic crystals (PCs) with a nanoscale band gap assembled by colloidal nanospheres have been increasingly utilized in detection and sensing devices owing to their attractive ability change color response external conditions. However, most of the reported works dedicated single-functional PCs, which can only be used as sensors or detectors specific situation. Thus, producing multi-functional PC for various industrial applications remains challenge. In this work, soft films...
We demonstrate the effective establishment of long-range electrostatic interactions among colloidal silica nanospheres through acid treatment, enabling their assembly into crystals at remarkably low concentrations. This novel method overcomes conventional limitation in by removing entrapped NH4+ ions and enhancing electrical double layer (EDL) thickness, offering a time-efficient alternative to increase compared with methods like dialysis. The increased EDL thickness facilitates SiO2...

Hydration is a critical process in cement-based materials. The microstructure and macroscopic properties of cementitious composites are determined by number intricate chemical interactions. Previous studies on cement hydration have primarily focused spherical regular polyhedral particles. However, particles exhibit asymmetrical geometries.
