Abstract: Systems and methods used for or in connection to production and printing of a photonic crystal forming ink solution, which involve use of a block polymer mixture and optionally a solvent, wherein the color of the printed ink solution may be set either through a single or multiple block polymer mixtures (i.e. premixed coloring) or through printing multiple layers of distinct single or multiple block polymer mixtures (i.e. post print coloring). The composition(s) used by the systems and methods function as a structural color (i.e., a photonic crystal) precursor, wherein forming, loading, printing, and optional post-print processing of the ink solution on a substrate, function to provide a desired photonic crystal print object possessing reflective coloration properties.

Abstract: Polymer composite photonic crystal materials are disclosed as coatings with topcoats having high reflection (>30%) in a specific range of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet (<400 nm), visible (Vis, 400 nm-700 nm), or near-infrared radiation range (NIR, 700-2000 nm), and optionally a relatively low reflection (<20% reflection) in a second, different range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Surprisingly, it was found that through a multi-layer coating approach, the optical properties of polymer composite photonic crystal films can be selectively modified from a variety of different coating methods, including spray deposition.
