Abstract: Glass fiber is widely used in various fields of life due to its great flame retardancy, electrical insulation properties, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. With the rise of smart materials, various new materials with responsive characteristics such as light, heat and electromagnetic have come out. Functional glass fiber has become an important direction for the future development of intelligent composite materials. The preparation of color responsive glass fiber will make the color of glass fiber more diversified and expand the application of glass fiber in the intelligent composite materials field. We deposit graphene oxide (GO) solution on the surface of glass fiber by solution vacuum filtration to prepare glass fiber which has the color similar to one-dimensional photonic crystalstructural color coating. The GO layer deposited on the surface of the glass fiber will make the incident light to produce interference phenomenon to form colorful appearance. And the colorful glass fiber has a "water vapor-color" cyclic discoloration function.

Key words: glass fiber, graphene oxide, structural color, discoloration response
