Thermo‐Derived Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomer Pattern with Composite Structural Colors

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 24, 25 June 2026.
A thermochromic cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) oligomer was synthesized for the preparation of CLC elastomer (CLCE) films with dual reflection bands. Subsequently, a CLCE pattern with composite structural colors was prepared, which was suitably applied for decoration and anti‐counterfeiting.

Colorimetric description of thermochromic printing inks

Acta graphica : znanstveni časopis za tiskarstvo i grafičke komunikacije, 2017
The dynamic colour of three commercial reversible thermochromic inks were studied. Thermochromic print-ing inks change their colour according to a change in temperature. The two types of thermochromic inks are based on leuco dyes and liquid crystals. The thermochromic effect achieved by liquid crystals is quite different from the effect achieved with ...

How to Visually Represent the Colour Theory of Thermochromic Inks

EKSIG 2015: Tangible Means — Experiential Knowledge Through Materials, 2015
Colour theories have been established in order to allow artists and designers to understand the relationship between colours, and to determine how a chosen colour will react or interact with another. Smart colours - such as leuco dye-based thermochromic inks - have entered into the textile and fashion design world, bringing with them new challenges ...
