Abstract

Dynamic micro/nanoscale patterns responding to environmental stimuli provide an effective solution for tuning surface properties to achieve on-demand smart surfaces. Herein, we propose a simple and robust strategy for constructing multiple-responsive dynamic wrinkle patterns using a conjugated copolymer (P(AEG-AAzo-AAN)). Photodimerization of anthracene and photoisomerization of azobenzene regulate the crosslinking density and stress relaxation ability, respectively, which determine wrinkle generation/erasure and realize the fabrication of on-demand hierarchical wrinkles. Moreover, using a sulfuric acid dopant, the wrinkle patterns are further endowed with humidity responsiveness and semiconductivity. These multiple-responsive dynamic wrinkle patterns are promising for smart displays and anti-counterfeiting tags.

摘要

环境刺激响应的动态微/纳米图案可调节表面特性, 为智能表面 的按需制备提供了有效的解决方案. 我们合成了一种光响应共轭聚合 物(P(AEG-AAzo-AAN)), 基于简单的策略构建了光驱动的双层动态褶 皱图案系统. 聚合物所含蒽侧基的光二聚和偶氮苯侧基的光异构化可 以分别调节交联密度和应力松弛, 从而决定褶皱的产生/擦除, 实现多 级次褶皱的按需制备. 硫酸掺杂后, 褶皱图案能够对湿度做出响应, 薄 膜变为半导体. 这种多重响应动态褶皱可能在智能显示器和防伪标签 中获得潜在的应用.
