Abstract

Thermochromic materials change color with temperature. Organic ternary mixtures composed of a dye, developer and solvent can reversibly change color with temperature. Although they are used in many commercial products, little is known about the detailed mechanism of thermochromism. Given the wide range of available components and compositions that could potentially show thermochromic behavior, we have embarked on combinatorial studies using inkjet printing to directly prepare thermochromic mixtures on paper.
