Abstract:

In order to obtain a photochromic textile for detecting ultraviolet(UV) intensity, microcapsules with spiropyran photochromic material as core material and polymethylmethacrylate as wall material were prepared by solvent volatilization method for printing cotton fabrics. The particle size, surface topography, core encapsulation efficiency and photochromic properties of the prepared microcapsules were characterized. A self-made color gradation chart was used to record the photochromic color difference of the photochromic textile. The effects of UV irradiation conditions on the photochromic properties and printing process on the rubbing color fastness of cotton fabrics were investigated. The results showed that the average particle size of spiropyran microcapsules was 729 nm, and the polydispersity index was 0.34. In a certain range, the photochromic color difference increased with the increase of microcapsule dosage, UV irradiation time and UV intensity. The color difference of printed fabric with 14% microcapsule content can reach 19.02 after UV irradiation at 30 W/m2 for 100 s, and the color fastness to dry rubbing of the printed fabric can reach grade 4-5 and the color fastness to wet rubbing can reach grade 4. The photochromic performance lost 12.26% after 20 UV-Vis cycles.
