Photodynamic Pattern Memory Surfaces with Responsive Wrinkled and Fluorescent Patterns.

Reversible pattern systems, namely pattern memory surfaces, possessing tunable morphology play an important role in the development of smart materials; however, the construction of these surfaces is still extensively challenging because of complicated methodologies or chemical reactions. Herein, a functionalized basement is strategically integrated with a multi-responsive supramolecular network based on hydrogen bonding between aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) and copolymers containing amidogen (poly(St--Dm) to establish a bilayer system for near-infrared (NIR)-driven memory dual-pattern, where both the fluorescence emission and wrinkled structures can be concurrently regulated by a noninvasive NIR input. The motion of the AIEgens and photo-to-thermal expansion of the modified base allow temporal erasing of the fluorescent wrinkling patterns. Meanwhile, when exposed to 365 nm UV radiation, the fluorescent patterns can be independently regulated through photocyclization. The fluorescent wrinkling pattern presented herein is successfully demonstrated to promote the level of information security and capacity. This strategy provides a brand-new approach for the development of smart memory interfaces.
