Abstract:
A reversible thermochromic composition with light fastness feature comprises (a) an electron-donating color former, (b) an electron-accepting compound represented by Formula I, wherein R1 represents a straight-chain or a branch-chain alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R2 represents an alkyl group, an aromatic group or a heterocyclic group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms, (c) a solvent including an alcohol, ester, ether, ketone, carboxylic acid or acid amide, and (d) a light stabilizer. The reversible thermochromic composition can be encapsulated in microcapsules. Furthermore, the reversible thermochromic compositions undergoes reversible metachromatism at a temperature of −50° C. to 80° C.
Abstract:
A damper device for retarding pivotal advancement of a hinged wall piece towards a hinging wall piece includes a tubular housing adapted to be mounted on one of the hinged and hinging wall pieces, a resisting seat with a resisting end, a position shifting mechanism disposed to couple the resisting seat to the housing such that the resisting seat is retainingly shiftable relative to the housing to permit movement of the resisting end, and a damper unit which has impacted and abutment ends and which is compressible such that, upon being pushed by an impact force, the impacted end is thrust towards the abutment end so as to acquire a damping force to counteract the impact force. The abutment end is engaged and moved with the resisting end for adjustment of the damping force.
Abstract:
The invention provides a photochromic dye of a structure containing a common structure of spirooxazine series compounds and three substituents. The photochromic dye according to the invention exhibits characteristics of a high heat stability, good light fatigue resistance, high sensitivity, extremely degradation rate and the like. This photochromic dye can be formulated with suitable organic solvents and used as photochromic functional colorants under UV light excitation. Further, this photochromic dye can be synthesized and purified in simple steps with cheap raw materials and hence at a greatly lowered production cost.
