Fluorescent robust photoactuator via photo-crosslinking induced single-layered janus polyimide by Shuyu Xue, Zhipanxin Shi, Zaiyu Wang, Haozhe Tan, Feng Gao, Zicong Zhang, Ziyue Ye, Shifeng Nian, Ting Han, Jianbo Zhang, Zheng Zhao, Ben Zhong Tang, Qiuyu Zhang

“…Then the fluorescent robust photoactuators with single-layered janus structure were directly obtained via UV assisted photo-crosslinking of the films, exhibiting reversible response driven by a pronounced mismatch in expansion between the front and back sides of the films. Achieving selective, non-uniform spatial distribution within the PI films, rapid and reversible complex morphing of the actuators, along with the capabilities for encrypting, reading, and erasing fluorescent information—all through the use of a single UV light source—becomes straightforward. …”

Visual Art as a Means of Presenting a Fashion Designer’s Creative Idea by Людмила Дихнич

“…After analysing the goals of designers and the impact of visual works on promoting fashion and fixing the suit images in the imagination of the consumer audience, the following functions of fashion graphics are identified: communicative (by presenting a sketch or illustration, the designer establishes or reinforces a connection with the target audience); advertising (by placing a sketch, illustration or author’s narrative graphics in the information space — printed and online sources, the designer promotes a new product or creates cult features for an existing product); correspondence of the suit to a work of art (using visual means, the designer brings closer or equates the process of creating a suit with the creation of a work of visual art). …”
