The tactics of targeting copolymer composition (CC) and molecular weight (MW) via semibatch controlled radical polymerization (CRP) have been extensively studied. However, little effort is made to target copolymer sequence length (CSL) and its triad sequence, which are among the key microstructures determining material properties of the copolymers. This work presents a method to design and synthesize targeted CSL and copolymer triads in a reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer radical mini-emulsion copolymerization system (RAFT) through a semibatch chain and sequence model coupled with Alfrey Mayo model. The kinetic model was first derived and correlated with experimental results of the batch St/BA copolymerizations. The semibatch RAFT model was then employed to calculate the feed-rate to target CSL and their triads. St/BA copolymers with different uniform CSLs and their triads are synthesized through the programmed semibatch RAFT mini-emulsion copolymerization processes.

PurposeThis paper aims to prepare Poly(Styrene-Butyl acrylate-Methacrylic acid) @Poly Gallic acid-Fe3+photonic crystal composite inks [P(St-BA-MAA)@PGA-Fe3+PCCI, @ means the PGA-Fe3+is loaded on the microspheres] and construct noniridescent structural colors on fabric substrates, with the goal of improving the visibility of structural colors.Design/methodology/approachP(St-BA-MAA)@PGA-Fe3+PCCI were prepared by coating P(St-BA-MAA) microspheres with a metal-polyphenol network formed by gallic acid (GA, C7H6O5) and Fe3+. The assembly effects of the inks were explored under different conditions, including pH, temperature, concentration and surface tension. The optimal self-assembly conditions of the inks were determined using the controlled variable method.FindingsThe results demonstrated the successful preparation of P(St-BA-MAA)@PGA-Fe3+PCCI. The metal polyphenol network film composed of GA and Fe3+was successfully coated on the surface of P(St-BA-MAA) seed microspheres. The assembly mechanism of the inks was investigated, indicating that at a diethylene glycol (DEG, C4H10O3) concentration of 0.3 wt% and pH of 7, bright noniridescent structural colors could be formed on fabric surfaces after self-assembly by PCCI at 60 °C for 10 min. Furthermore, the mechanical fastness of the structural colors was enhanced due to the adherence of the soft shell composed of P(St-BA-MAA) and GA.Originality/valueUtilizing a cost-effective approach and a diverse array of readily available raw materials, we have successfully prepared P(St-BA-MAA)@PGA-Fe3+PCCI, which boasts superior performance and offers fabrics a range of unique coloring styles. This innovation paves the way for potential applications of structural colors in practical production, thereby broadening their realm of utility.
