Determining ultraviolet degradation of high-visibility warning clothing with photochromic indicators.
نویسنده
چکیده
The main purpose of this study was to select an appropriate photochromic dye and to develop a series of photochromic indicators showing ultraviolet (UV) degradation of selected background materials made from different polymers. The photochemistry of a series of photochromic compounds of oxazine and diarylethenes in thin polystyrene films were studied with spectroscopic methods. This paper also discusses the design and results of tests of UV photochromic indicators for high-visibility clothing.

Towards Extremely Sensitive Ultraviolet-Light Sensors Employing Photochromic Optical Microfiber
We propose an extremely responsive ultraviolet-light sensor (−1.39 × 10 dB/(W/cm)) based on photochromic optical microfiber. A densely packed planar coil of ZBLAN optical microfiber is doped with photochromic dyes. Under ultraviolet radiation, the photochromic microfiber experiences temporary photodarkening, and the change in the transmission of the probe light provides a measure of the inciden...
