Abstract

WOS: 000391519400006Thermochromic dyes and pigments offer significant potential for functional and aesthetic design of smart textile materials and in the area of the leather industry potential application of thermochromic pigment dispersions opens up a new issue. In this study, thermochromic pigments were applied in the leather finishing process in order to obtain leathers changing colour with temperature and their potential for innovative design concepts accompanied with an evaluation of technical features of the materials is presented. Two thermochromic pigments, providing colour change at 15 degrees C and 31 degrees C were applied at different proportions in the base coat of the finishing process. The colour measurements and colour change of the thermochromic leathers were determined by a Minolta CM-3600d spectrophotometer both prior to and subsequent to the rubbing fastness tests. To and fro rubbing, crockmeter and light fastness properties of leathers were examined according to...
