    Abstract

    In this study, Ag/Ag2O bilayer films were deposited on polyester fabrics to fabricate structural color by magnetron sputtering. The thickness of the Ag film was set, by precisely controlling the thickness of the Ag2O layer, different structural colors were created on the fabric substrate, achieving a uniform and vibrant color spectrum. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, FESEM and TEM. The chromogenic theory and mechanism were also investigated. The results showed that the efficient structural coloration process using magnetron sputtering deposition could be acquired. The developed textile coloration method may help advance new fabric dyeing technologies in the near future.
