Non-iridescent magnetite photonic crystal films and pigments with enhanced magnetic coupling effect
Non-iridescent structural color films and pigments with novel enhanced microwave absorption characteristics are successfully fabricated at room temperature for the first time. The quasi-uniform magnetite nanoparticles (CV = 0.10 ∼ 0.20) with high refractive index (n = 2.42) and broad light absorption provide evident low-angle-independent property for the structural color pigments. More importantly, a universal technical protocol is developed for preparation of photonic crystals with inorganic nanoparticles, i.e., through designing of the binding strength between nanoparticles and mediated molecules, the slurry modulus is increased to 10 5 Pa, which effectively drives the nanoparticles to rapidly assemble into closely packed ordered arrays by our-designed powerful assembly technique. Additionally, the structural color materials are subjected as photonic crystal pigments (∼20 wt%) embedding in a transparent polymer matrix to form color coatings. Remarkably, the photonic crystal pigments exhibit strong magnetic coupling effect and enhanced microwave absorption performance due to the regular arrangement, with superior reflection loss (RL min ) values of −14.97 dB (increase by 65.8 % compared with randomized magnetic nanoparticles), and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 2.15 GHz. This new kind of photonic crystal pigment, combining visual color and radar wave absorption, provides a novel idea for developing of multi-wave-band high-performance stealth materials.
