Abstract:

To explore creative designs and applications of thermochromic materials on textile, the textile fabrics with thermochromic materials were prepared via the method of printing, yarns of dipping and coating, respectively. Benefiting from the utilization of thermochromic materials, along with the properties of different color are presented in different temperature, the fabrics were endowed with multiple appearance style. Meantime, The design of pattern and variation of weave structure was applied to the textile fabrics of thermochromic materials. The practical applications of three kinds of design proposals were studied by experiments in laboratory. The results showed that thermochromic materials exhibited remarkable visual expression on the pattern, color and appearance. Benefiting from the utilization of thermochromic materials, the textile fabrics were endowed with thermochromic property.

Key words: thermochromic material, pattern design, textile fabric, application effect
