摘要:
A thermochromic acrylic synthetic fiber comprising an acrylonitrile polymer in which a thermochromic pigment composition with an average particle diameter of from 0.5 µm to 30 µm is dispersedly contained in an amount of from 0.5% by weight to 40% by weight based on the weight of the polymer, and being made into fibers; the pigment composition containing (a) an electron-donating color-developing organic compound, (b) an electron-accepting compound and (c) a reaction medium that determines the temperature at which the color-developing reaction of the both compounds takes place. Also disclosed are a processed article of the above thermochromic acrylic synthetic fiber, and a process for producing the thermochromic acrylic synthetic fiber.
摘要:
A reversible thermochromic composition comprises (a) an electron-donating color-developing organic compound, (b) at least one electron-accepting compound selected from alkoxyphenols compounds of the formula and (c) a compound serving as a reaction medium capable of causing a reversible electron-donating/accepting reaction attributable to components (a) and (b). This composition has a reversible metachromatic function; in one aspect, it presents a color-developed state when heated from a color-extinguished state and presents the color-extinguished state when cooled from the color-developed state; in another aspect, it begins to develop color during the course of being cooled after having been heated, color development having been triggered by the temperature rise when being heated in a color-extinguished state, and returns to the color-extinguished state after presenting a maximum developed-color density.
