Exemplary embodiments provide compositions for erasable media and methods of forming polymers for erasable media. The method can include providing a first monomer, the first monomer including one or more alkoxylated bisphenols and adding at least one second monomer and a catalyst to the first monomer to form a mixture at a first temperature, the second monomer selected from the group consisting of an organic diacid, a dialkyl ester of the organic diacid, and combinations thereof. The method can also include melt condensing the mixture by increasing the temperature from the first temperature to a second temperature over a first amount of time to form one or more polymers, wherein the one or more polymers has an acid value in the range of about 0.1 mg-KOH to about 12 mg-KOH.

摘要:
A method for determining whether an item has been exposed to an environmental condition during a monitoring period. The method includes placing a sensor at least in proximity to the item at the beginning of the monitoring period so that the sensor will be exposed to a level of an environmental condition that can be correlated to an exposure level of the item to the environmental condition; reading the sensor; and determining from reading the sensor whether the item has been exposed to the environmental condition. The sensor includes a detecting material comprising a photochromic or photothermochromic material, the detecting material selected so that upon exposure to the environmental condition the detecting material exhibits a detectable color change.

摘要:
The present disclosure relates to the process of making a photochromic composite having a photochromic polymer and a binder polymer. The photochromic polymer is made by solution polymerization of the photochromic monomer and two monomers in the presence of a base and the binder polymer is made by solution polymerization of the two monomers in the presence of a base.
