Article Abstract
Color 3D printing has widely affected our daily lives; therefore, its precise control is essential for aesthetics and performance. In this study, four unique test plates were printed using powder-based full-color 3D printing as an example; moreover, the corresponding pigment-penetration depth, chromaticity value and image-based metrics were measured to investigate the lateral pigment penetration characteristics and relative surface-color reproduction of each color patch, and to perform an objective analysis with specific microscopic images. The results show that the lateral pigment-penetration depth correlates with the number of printed layers on the designed 3D test plates, and the qualitative analysis of microscopic images can explain the change in chromaticity well. Meanwhile, there is an obvious linear correlation between the mean structural similarity, color-image difference and color difference for current color samples. Thus, our proposed approach has a good practicality for powder-based color 3D printing, and can provide new insight into predicting the color-presentation efficiency of color 3D-printed substrates by the abovementioned objective metrics.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of post-polymerization time and curing device type on the surface roughness, microhardness and color change of 3D printed permanent resin materials.
Materials And Methods: In this study, permanent resin samples with a layer print thickness of 50 μm and dimensions of 10 × 2 mm3 were produced on SLA and DLP printers. The samples were post-polymerized in blue LED and UV LED curing devices for 10, 20, 40 and 60 min.

Supramolecular colloidal photonic crystals possess the advantages of both photonic crystals and supramolecular materials to prepare dynamically reversible structural color materials with high flexibility, functionality and recyclability. However, the driving force for the ordered arrangement of colloidal nanoparticles is limited since the significant increase of the viscosity in the system, consequently the shear-induced technique with complicated equipment needs to be applied to achieve the assembly of colloidal nanoparticles. Herein, we report a local stress-assisted assembly strategy for fabricating high-performance supramolecular colloidal photonic crystal films without the need of complex shearing equipment.

Mimic octopuses can freely alter their shape and color to imitate the natural enemies of predators and thus avoid predation. Herein, a shape-color dual-responsive polyurethane (PU) was designed by imitating the mimic octopuses. To acquire reversible deformation, crystalline polycaprolactone (PCL) was selected as the soft segment and switching phase of the PU, while uniformly distributed hydrogen bonds inside the PU served as the internal stress provider.

Gallic acid, a natural phenolic compound, was used as a crosslinking agent to achieve protein-polyphenol conjugation under alkaline conditions, presenting an innovative approach to stabilize gelatin. The formulated inks were evaluated for their rheological properties and 3D printing performance. Once the scaffolds were printed, physicochemical properties were assessed by color changes and FTIR.
