Photochromic Azobenzene Inverse Opal Film toward Dynamic Anti-Fake Pattern.

ABSTRACT: Azobenzene mesogens have garnered considerable research attention in the realm of photo-responsive materials due to their reversible trans-cis isomerization. In this paper, we demonstrate an azobenzene inverse opal film synthesized via photo-polymerization from a SiO₂ opal template. The proposed design exhibits intriguing optical properties, including dynamic fluorescent features, distinct fluorescent enhancement, and an anti-fake micropattern with a switchable structure color. This work holds significant importance for advancing the development of novel optical devices.
