Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a thermochromic composition and thermochromic microcapsules. The invention also relates to methods of making thermochromic compositions. Background technique
[0002] The thermochromic composition undergoes reversible color development and color loss due to temperature, and can be used, for example, in printed matters, inks, paints, packaging materials, recording materials, and the like. As a representative example of such a composition, there is a composition utilizing an electron transfer reaction between an electron-donating chromogenic organic compound (electron donor) and an electron-accepting compound (electron acceptor) (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc.) .
[0003] In general, in the heating-cooling cycle, the thermochromic composition can reversibly repeat color development-color loss or color loss-color development, but usually there is a temperature difference between the color development temperat...
