description Responsive photonic crystals (PCs) with bio-inspired microstructures and tailorable functionalities are of critical importance for their potential applications in diverse fields such as biological detection, sensing, decoration, anti-counterfeiting, etc. However, limited by preparation technologies and design theories, it is still a challenge to accurately and uniformly deposit smart responsive materials on natural PC structures and achieve dual stimulus response. Herein, a simple and rapid in situ polymerization method is presented for preparing dual-responsive PCs with ultra-precise micro-/nanoscale hierarchical structures. Exposure of the reaction site by deacetylation of Morpho butterfly wings allows in situ polymerisation of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (P(NIPAAM-co-AAc)) on the surface of the natural photonic structure. The obtained P(NIPAAM-co-AAc) photonic crystals (P(NIPAAM-co-AAc)-PCs) exhibited a dual response to pH and temperature reversibility. In addition, the synergistic effect of the structures and materials on the optical response of the natural PCs is revealed. This work allows the combination of natural hierarchical PC structures with smart hydrogel to achieve an optical response to pH and temperature, thus opening up the channels for responsive PC to multiple stimulus responses.
