  • Light Stabilisation of Photochromic Prints
    Thesis for the Degree of Master in Science with a major in Textile Engineering The Swedish School of Textiles 2016-05-27 LIGHT STABILISATION OF PHOTOCHROMIC PRINTS Nikolina Brixland E-TEAM, European Masters Programme in Advanced Textile Engineering Description: Master Thesis for Master in Textile Technology Title: Light Stabilisation of Photochromic Prints Author: Nikolina Brixland Supervisors: Vincent Nierstrasz, Sina Seipel Examiner: Vincent Nierstrasz Abstract Light stabilisation of photochromic dyes is seen as the most challenging part in the development of photochromic dyes. The aim of this research is to compare stabilisation methods and their effect on the lifetime of a photochromic print on textile. The vision is to create a textile UV-sensor that detects current UV-light exposure in the surroundings and alarms the wearer by showing colour. The developed inks have been formulated for ink-jet printing as a novel production method with resource saving properties. UV-LED light curable ink formulations were prepared for two dye classes; a non-commercial spirooxazine, a commercial spirooxazine (Oxford Blue) and a commercial naphthopyran (Ruby Red). Two different stabilisation methods were applied; chemically by incorporation of hindered amine light stabilisers and physically by polyurethane coating. Fatigue tests were performed to evaluate and compare the stabilisation methods. The tests included were household washing, multiple activations and intensive sun-lamp exposure. As a result it was found that Oxford Blue and spirooxazine had an initial better resistance to photodegradation than Ruby Red. The coating reduced the ability of colour development in higher extend for Oxford Blue and spirooxazine compared to Ruby Red. Moreover, the photocolouration increased with the number of activations for Oxford Blue and spirooxazine in particular.

R. China [email protected] KEYWORDS photochromic materials, glassfibre reinforced plastic (GRP), photochromic GRP, adaptive building skin Paper Sunshine in summer is not always desirable. The summer sunrays that reach inside buildings with large glazed envelopes and windows can make computer work difficult, with strong glaring on computer screens seriously affecting working conditions. The heat gained through glazed envelopes and windows, and from the buildings’ skin, also burdens the building with increased cooling loads in summer. Among various solar control methods, the applications of photochromism are gaining increasing interest in architecture. Energy-absorptive photochromic systems and materials change their optical properties, such as color and light transmission, when exposed to the UV rays in sunlight and revert back to their original properties in diffused light. This material behavior can be used to control the effects of sunlight on the interior light environment and regulate lighting and heating levels for energy load management. At the present time, this photochromic effect is being applied in energy-efficient glazing, which can be either automatically or electrically switched from colorless (or weakly colored) to colored, or the inverse, in accordance with light conditions. These types of windows normally use glass panes as substrates which either have a photochromic coating or are laminated with photochromic films, or they are supplied with complicated device structures. Windows using the photochromic effect are just the beginning.

  • Photochromic Diarylethene As an Information Processing Unit: Magnetic and Electric Switching*
    Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 80, No. 3, pp. 555–561, 2008. doi:10.1351/pac200880030555 © 2008 IUPAC Photochromic diarylethene as an information processing unit: Magnetic and electric switching* Kenji Matsuda Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyushu University, 744 Motooka, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka 819-0395, Japan Abstract: Photochromic compounds reversibly change not only the absorption spectra but also their geometrical and electronic structures. This principle can be applied for the photo- switching of the physical properties of the molecular materials. In particular, photoswitching of the flow of information through the molecule is interesting because information process- ing using molecular devices is attracting interest in the molecular electronics field. The photoswitchings of the magnetic exchange interaction and the electrical conductance using photochromic diarylethene are described. Keywords: photochromism; magnetism; exchange interaction; electric conductance; gold nanoparticles. INTRODUCTION Photochromism is a reversible phototransformation of a chemical species between two forms having different absorption spectra [1–4]. Photochromic compounds reversibly change not only the absorption spectra but also their geometrical and electronic structures. The geometrical and electronic structural changes induce some changes in physical properties, such as fluorescence, refractive index, polariz- ability, and electric conductivity. Diarylethenes with heterocyclic aryl groups are well known as thermally irreversible, highly sen- sitive, and fatigue-resistant photochromic compounds [5,6]. The photochromic reaction is based on a reversible transformation between an open-ring isomer with hexatriene structure and a closed-ring iso- mer with cyclohexadiene structure according to the Woodward–Hoffmann rule as shown in Fig. 1. While the open-ring isomer 1a is colorless in most cases, the closed-ring isomer 1b has the color of yel- low, red, or blue, depending on the molecular structure.

  • Photochromism in Composite and Hybrid Materials Based on Transition-Metal Oxides and Polyoxometalates
    Progress in Materials Science 51 (2006) 810–879 www.elsevier.com/locate/pmatsci Photochromism in composite and hybrid materials based on transition-metal oxides and polyoxometalates Tao He, Jiannian Yao * CAS Key Laboratory of Photochemistry, Center for Molecular Sciences, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100080, PR China Received 25 April 2005; accepted 5 December 2005 Abstract Photochromic materials are attractive and promising for applications in many fields. One subject in this area is to prepare and study the photochromism in composite or hybrid materials based on transition-metal oxides or polyoxometalates. Their properties not depend only on the chemical nature of each component, but also on the interface and synergy between them. Since the charge transfer plays a key role in the photochromism of these materials, it is very important to increase the charge (electrons, holes, and protons) interactions between the two components in either com- posites or hybrids. To realize this, one big challenge is to optimize the two components on a molec- ular or nanometer scale, which is closely relevant to the constituents, sample history (pre-treatment, preparation, and post-treatment), environment (humidity, presence of reducible or oxidizible mat- ters, light-irradiation wavelength, intensity, time, etc.). Based on these, many novel composite or hybrid materials with improved photochromism, visible-light coloration, reversible photochromism, multicolor photochromism or, possibly, fast photoresponse, have been prepared during the last two decades or three. This may underscore the opportunity of using these composite and hybrid mate- rials as the photonic applications. In present paper, we summarize thoroughly all the recent progress in these subjects.

    Pure Appl.

The two isomers have dif- ferent electronic as well as geometrical structures. The electronic structure change induces the reversible color change of the crystal. Single crystals composed of three different kinds of diarylethenes having similar geometrical structures, bisoxazolylethene, bisthiazolylethene, and bisthienylethene have been prepared. The crystals exhibited multicolor photochromism. The colorless crystals turned yellow, red, and blue upon irradiation with the appropriate wavelength of light. The geometrical structure change of component diarylethene molecules in crystals induces reversible surface morphology as well as shape and size changes of the crystals. The photoinduced geometrical structure changes of the molecules in the densely packed crystals were successfully linked to the macro-scale mechanical motion of the solid crystals and resulted in the net task of launching a tiny silica particle. Keywords: diarylethenes; photochromism; photomechanical effects; single crystals; X-ray crystallographic analysis. INTRODUCTION Photochromism is defined as a reversible transformation of a chemical species between two isomers upon irradiation with the appropriate wavelength of light [1,2]. The two isomers have different elec- tronic as well as geometrical structures. The reversible and quick structure changes between them upon photoirradiation can be potentially applied to various photoactive devices [3–7].

Photoelectrochemistry as a branch of electrochemistry attracts extensive attention from scientists worldwide for its use to convert light energy into electricity with efficiencies competing with silicon based photovoltaics. This review will focus on the area of photoelectrochemical cell and its applications in optoelectronics, i.e. electrochemical photovoltaic cells, dye sensitized solar cells and light emitting cells. Most recent advances in above areas have been included. Keywords: photoelectrochemistry, photoelectrochemical photovoltaic cells, dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC), electrochemical light emitting cells. 1. INTRODUCTION A typical type of the photocurrent-generated device has a semiconductor in contact with an electrolyte, and this is often referred as photoelectrochemical cells. A photoelectrochemical cell consists of a photoactive semiconductor working electrode (either n- or p-type) and counter electrode made of either metal (e.g. Pt) or semiconductors. Both electrodes are immersed in the electrolyte containing suitable redox couples. In a metal-electrolyte junction, the potential drop occurs entirely on the solution site, whereas in a semiconductor-electrolyte junction, the potential drop occurs on the semiconductor site as well as the solution site. The charge on the semiconductor side is distributed deep in the interior of the semiconductor, creating a space charge region.
