Thermochromic printing inks could be security inks which respond to the color change when are being exposed to different temperatures. These inks with unusual chemical and physical specific characteristics are mostly produced for flexographic, screen and rotogravure printing systems under the supervision of skilled technical experts and with precise security controls. Since flexographic thermoc...

This study compared functional and physical collateral damage to a nerve when operating a Codman MALIS Bipolar Electrosurgical System CMC-III or a CO2 laser coupled to a laser, with correlation to an in vitro model of heating profiles created by the devices in thermochromic ink agarose. Functional damage of the rat sciatic nerve after operating the MALIS or CO2 laser at various power settings a...

We have developed a prototype of breathable thermochromic textile ideal for sensor applications, e.g., medical thermography. The was woven/knitted from polyester filaments pre-coated with liquid crystal (TLC) ink, in lieu coating the TLC ink on textile. This process brings us closer to achieving textiles while enhancing versatility A combination precoated yarns can be preselected according desi...

AmbiKraf is a novel non-emissive animated fabric technology that is fast, color changing, and robust. Here we combine thermochromic ink with semiconductor heating/cooling technologies, embedded in soft fabrics. By developing a technology that makes the fabric itself change the color we present it as a ubiquitous display technology. We present our results through a various range of animated fabr...

Thermochromic liquid crystal materials are commonly used in printing inks, opening up a wide range of possible applications. In order to ensure and control the most accurate application, occurrence so-called colour play effect, i.e., appearance iridescent (rainbow) colours as function temperature, must be determined precisely. For this purpose, temperature-dependent reflection sample measured u...

The purpose of the study is to prepare reversible thermochromic materials with good discoloration properties, which are used as fillers a new type ink. Reversible were prepared by solid phase method crystal violet lactone chromogenic agent, boric acid agent and hexadecanol cosolvent, ink was using material filler. scanning electron microscope images showed that spherical had advantages non-adhe...

Abstract Thermochromic materials change their optical response to temperature reversibly. This study explores the application of thermochromism road engineering, which is still incipient in this area, from two perspectives. The first one about development functionalized markings (FRM) working as thermochromic sensors alert presence ice on and, way, improve safety. second concerns functionalizat...

In this study, thermochromic photonic gels were fabricated using 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as a hydrogel building block, and 4-Acryloyl morpholine (ACMO) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAM) as thermoresponsive monomers with different critical solution temperature behaviors. Rapid photopolymerization of opal-templated monomer mixtures of varying ACMO contents formed five individual therm...
