文摘Crystal polymers or liquid crystal elastomers undergo a phase transition that results in a change in the corresponding optical properties,which has the potential to be applied in areas such as information encryption and anti-counterfeiting.The utilization of these materials for patterning purposes requires different phase transition temperatures.However,once prepared,altering the phase transition temperature of them presents significant challenges.Herein,a poly(oxime-ester)(POE)network is developed to achieve high-resolution and multilevel patterning by photo-induced isomerization.The as-prepared POE exhibits the ability to transition from an opaque state to a transparent state under temperature stimuli,with the transition temperature and kinetics dependent on UV light exposure time.Thus,complex patterns and information can be encrypted through different selective regional exposure time and decrypted under specific temperature or cooling time.Furthermore,we illustrate an example of temporal communication,where cooling time or temperature serves as the encoded information.This research expands the application scope of advanced encryption materials,showcasing the potential of POE in dynamic information encryption and decryption processes.
文摘A novel self-recoverable mechanoluminescent phosphor Ca_(5)Ga_(6)O_(14)∶Eu^(3+) was developed by the high-tem-perature solid-state reaction method,and its luminescence properties were investigated.Ca_(5)Ga_(6)O_(14)∶Eu^(3+)can produce red mechanoluminescence,and importantly,it shows good repeatability.The mechanoluminescence of Ca_(5)Ga_(6)O_(14)∶Eu^(3+) results from the piezoelectric field generated inside the material under stress,rather than the charge carriers stored in the traps,which can be confirmed by the multiple cycles of mechanoluminescence tests and heat treatment tests.The mechanoluminescence color can be turned from red to green by co-doping varied concentrations of Tb^(3+),which may be meaningful for encrypted letter writing.The encryption scheme for secure communication was devised by harnessing mechanoluminescence patterns in diverse shapes and ASCII codes,which shows good encryption performance.The results suggest that the mechanoluminescence phosphor Ca_(5)Ga_(6)O_(14)∶Eu^(3+),Tb^(3+)may be applied to the optical information encryption.

文摘Developing high-performance circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)materials with large luminescence dissymmetry factors(g_(lum))remains challenging.We demonstrate that covalently anchoring an anthraquinone(AQ)chromophore to a chiral LC network via a synergistic noncovalent-covalent approach,unlike the common strategy of noncovalent doping of luminophores into chiral liquid crystals(LCs)to enhance glum,can achieve an unprecedented glum value of up to 1.73.The predoped AQ chromophores are capable of undergoing a photoinduced topochemical addition reaction with the diarylacetylene component of SLC1717 LC,leading to the formation of covalently anchored emitters embedded in the LC network and the realization of boosted CPL signals.The structural similarity of the in-situ-generated emitters with LC components enabled satisfactory orientation within the original LC,contributing to nearly pure output of circularly polarized light through a selective reflection mechanism.The remarkable photochromism and CPL properties were subsequently harnessed to develop photopattern generation and,particularly,the design of Morse code multiple information encryption.This work introduces a brand-new strategy for the fabrication of CPL LC materials with extremely large g_(lum) values,opening up the possibility of covalent anchoring of chromophores to ordered chiral structures to design high performance CPL systems.

文摘Self-healing polyurethane-elastomers are highly desired in various fields.However,there is often a trade-off between mechanical properties and dynamic self-healing due to the mutually exclusive mechanism.Herein,we develop a self-healable and mechanically robust poly(oxime-urethane)elastomer(Zn-DAPU)to circumvent this inherent trade-off by incorporating zincpyridinyl cross-links into the hydrogen bonding and dynamic oxime-urethane supramolecular-covalent hybrid network.Benefiting from the synergistic strengthening of H-bonding and coordinate interactions,Zn-DAPU network performs tunable toughness with metal ion concentration change,which improves 345.2%and reaches 82.2 MJ m^(-3),with robust tensile strength of 22.8 MPa,Young's modulus of 37.1 MPa,and satisfactory elongation of 815.7%.The healing efficiency can be reached at 91.7%with a restored toughness of 75.4 MJ m^(-3)at 80℃for 10 h.Furthermore,zinc-contained networks exhibit photolysis behavior due to the homolytic cleavage of N-O bonds in oxime-urethane moieties,which can be functionalized further with fluorescamine as the specific information encryption coating with quick response codes(QRs)upon polyester fabric.This work provides valuable guidance towards the development of high-performance self-healing polyurethane and wearable functional materials.

文摘Dissipative self-assembly,which exploits energy inputs of chemical fuels to maintain the functional states far from equilibrium,is essential to living systems.Among a variety of fuels,carbon dioxide(CO_(2))gas has yet to be introduced in artificial dissipative materials.Here we describe a CO_(2)-fueled non-equilibrium co-assembly system that couples with a C1 catalytic pathway to dissipate the fuel for function output.Using common frustrated Lewis pair(FLP)as precursors,CO_(2)can dynamically bridge between them to constitute metastable amphiphiles,which not only highly activate CO_(2)but also enable their co-assembly with substrates into a transient fibrillar gel.In turn,the backward pathway is realized by cooperative C1 catalysis of the substrate and activated CO_(2)species in the assembled state.This can boost the depletion of gas fuel and facilitate disassembly to the sol.Moreover,tailoring the intrinsic substrate/FLP chemistries,as well as external cues,to shift the catalytic activity is accessible to regulate the period and lifetime of sol-gel-sol transition over a wide range.Based on the tunability in phase transition on a time scale,we develop time-gated information encryption materials using the transient FLP array loaded gas-encoded substrates,and the correct information can be read only at a specified time window.This study provides inspiration for a new paradigm of fuel for dissipative systems and their intelligent materials applications.

文摘Dynamic fluorescent materials capable of stimulus-responsive emission modulation have emerged as pivotal components in next-generation information security systems.This study presents a novel photoresponsive fluorescent composite system in which spiropyran(SP)was covalently grafted onto naphthalimide-functionalized silica aerogel matrices.These architectures exhibit reversible fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the naphthalimide donors and merocyanine-form of SP acceptors under ultraviolet irradiation,enabling dynamic emission shifting from green(blue)to red.The aggregation-induced emission characteristics of SP were used to engineer a smart material system that can reversibly regulate its distinct red fluorescence by precisely controlling the dispersion of amino groups on naphthalimide-functionalized silica aerogels.This spatial manipulation directly governs the molecular packing state of SP,enabling dynamic fluorescence modulation.A programmable control over the fluorescence chromatic transitions in the composite material was achieved by systematically adjusting the SP grafting densities(1%,2%,and 3%w/w).A unique mode of dynamic information encryption technology was developed by utilizing dynamic fluorescence variations.These materials can substantially enhance information encryption levels due to their precisely adjustable fluorescence properties in response to external stimuli over time.This makes the encryption process even more unpredictable and complex,thereby exponentially increasing the difficulty for unauthorized parties to replicate or decode the encrypted information.

文摘Stimuli responsive phosphors with photoluminescence and thermoresponsive luminescence are intriguing for information encryption applications.Herein,two solvent-mediated,stimuli responsive phosphors based on phosphine-copper(I)iodide complexes 1 and 2 are reported.Complex 1 exhibited temperature-and excitation-wavelength-dependent dual-emission characteristics,displaying high energy(HE)and low energy(LE)bands with the quantum yield(QY)of 38.5%under 365 nm irradiation;but complex 2 exhibited no emission.The LE emission can be attributed to a triplet halide-to-metal charge transfer(^(3)XMCT)and copper-centered 4d→3s,3p transitions,whereas the HE emission originates from a triplet halide-to-ligand charge-transfer(^(3)XLCT).Importantly,in complex 2,the strong C—H∙∙∙Cl interaction in the supramolecular crystal lattice annihilated the sensitive cluster centered(3CC)excited state.Intriguingly,only the HE emission band of complex 2 can be successfully activated by high-energy excitation or changing the temperature.Nevertheless,the QY of complex 2 is 15.6%under 310 nm irradiation,which is smaller than that of complex 1 of 49.8%.This behavior was further confirmed by heating,where both complexes show HE emission.The reversible crystal transformation between complexes 1 and 2 was achieved.Furthermore,the reversible excitation-wavelength-dependent dual-emission and thermoresponsive properties make these phosphors suitable candidates for anti-counterfeiting and information encryption applications.

文摘In this work,we report a facile and efficient supramolecular strategy for the construction of colortunable thermally activated delayed fluorescence polymeric materials(TADF PMs)through host–vip complexation.Consequently,new kinds of TADF PMs exhibiting multicolor emissions were constructed conveniently by mixing a calix[3]acridan-modified polymer and various commercially available receptors.This emergent TADF property was attributed to the formation of the through-space charge transfer(TSCT)interactions between the macrocyclic donor in the polymer and the vip acceptors.Moreover,multicolor emission and high photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)of up to 40%were achieved readily by tailoring the vips with different electron-withdrawing abilities.Further,we found that the TADF PMs could be prepared readily on a large scale with good processability;thus,the approach could achieve potential application on rewritable advanced information encryption.Therefore,this work not only develops an efficient supramolecular strategy to design and construct color-tunable TADF PMs but also offers a new perspective for their practical applications in materials science.

文摘Carbon dots(CDs)with aggregation-induced emission(AIE)have sparked significant interest in multidimensional anti-counterfeiting due to their exceptional fluorescence properties.However,the preparation of AIE CDs with multicolor solid-state fluorescence remains a formidable challenge due to its complicated construction.In the present work,a novel class of multicolor AIE CDs(M-CDs)were fabricated using selected precursor(salicylic acid,thiosalicylic acid,and 2,2'-dithiodibenzoic acid),with an eco-friendly,low-cost one-pot solvothermal method.In the dilute organic solution,M-CDs manifested blue emission,but upon aggregation in the presence of water,the red,yellow,green,and blue emissions were displayed due to the AIE effect.Structural analysis,coupled with theoretical calculations,revealed that the increase in the size of sp2 domains would lower the Eg and cause a red-shift emission wavelength.Significantly,the continuous emission of M-CDs from blue to red can be utilized as ink for multimode printing,enabling the creation of a variety of school badges and quick response codes.These findings hold promising implications for multi-information encryption applications.

文摘Programming microscopic assembly mode to control macroscopic property is an attractive research objective.In particular,controlling molecular assembly to control fluorescence is of considerable interest for developing smart fluorescent materials.Herein,a color-tunable supramolecular emissive system was developed based on cucurbit[8]uril mediated host-vip assembly.Chemical designing for the molecular structures with minimized change resulted in different assembly modes and hence generating distinctive fluorescence,including green,yellow and orange with the addition of cucurbit[n]uril.Taking advantage of this feature,the advanced information encryption material(4D code)with multiple encryption levels and time-dependent encryption feature was developed.Such a code was dynamic on time scale,generating a series of 3D codes with time.The encrypted information only can be recognized by integrating time-coursed codes.This work provides a new insight for designing intelligent fluorescent materials for information encryption with high level of security.

文摘Surfaces with micro-nanoscale structures show different optical responses,including infrared reflection,thermal radiation,and protective coloration.Direct realization of structure camouflage is important for material functionalities.However,external cloaks or coatings are necessary in structure camouflage,which limits the surface functionality.Here,we propose a novel strategy for the direct structure camouflage through topography inherited removal(TIR)with ultrafast laser,featuring pristine topography preservation and scattering surface fabrication.After multistep TIR,pristine topographies are partially and uniformly removed to preserve the original designed structures.Optical response changes show the suppression of specular reflection by uniformizing reflected light intensity to a low level on the inherited surface.We produce various structure camouflages on large scaled substrates,and demonstrate applications of information encryption in code extraction and word recognition through structure camouflage.The proposed strategy opens opportunities for infrared camouflage and other technologies,such as thermal management,device security,and information encryption.

文摘Constructingeco-friendlystimuli-responsivephosphorescence materials remains challenging and fascinating.Herein,we use natural cellulose as the rawmaterial to prepare pH-responsive room-temperature phosphorescent(RTP)materials with excellent biodegradability by introducing anionic structures.The introduction of a phenylcarboxylate substituent not only promotes intersystem crossing but also brings about electrostatic-attractive and strong hydrogenbonding interactions,which enhance the intermolecular chain interactions.Therefore,the obtained anionic cellulose derivatives containing phenylcarboxylate groups exhibit ultra-long RTP.More intriguingly,these cellulose-based phosphorescent materials have a distinctive pH-responsive behavior.Under acidic conditions,the carboxylate is converted into the carboxylic acid,resulting in phosphorescence quenching.This process is reversible.Moreover,the obtained cellulosebased phosphorescent materials have excellent processability and can be easily processed into various material forms,such as film,coating,and pattern,by using eco-friendly aqueous solution processing strategies.Such proof-of-concept biomass-based phosphorescent materials with unique pH-responsive behavior and excellent processability have a huge potential in information encryption,advanced anti-counterfeiting,and food monitoring.

文摘Exploring multiple-level encryption technologies and extra safety decoding ways to prevent information leakage is of great significance and interest,but is still challenging.Herein,we propose a novel approach by developing halloysite-based X-ray-activated persistent luminescent hydrogels with self-healing properties,which can emit visible luminescence even after switching off the X-ray irradiation.The afterglow properties can be well regulated by controlling the crystal form of the anchored nanocrystal on the surface of the halloysite nanotube,enabling the“time-lock”encryption.Additionally,the absence or presence of photoluminescence behaviors can also be controlled by changing the crosslinkers in synthesizing hydrogels.Six types of hydrogels were reported by means of condensation reactions,which show diverse emission and afterglow properties.By taking advantage of these features,the hydrogels were programmed as a display panel that exhibits three types of fake information under the wrong decoding tools.Only when the right stimuli are applied at the defined time does the panel give a readable pattern,allowing the encrypted information to be recognized.We believe this work will pave a novel path in developing extra safety information-encryption materials.
