Fabrication strategies and microscale sensing functionalities of mechanochromic colloidal photonic crystals for underwater applications

Figure 2. Three typical response mechanisms of mechanochromic colloidal PCs (3D configurations) under external forces based on various compositions: 1-hard building blocks; 2-soft building blocks; 3-shape-memory media. PCs: Photonic crystals; 3D: Three-dimensional.
