| abstract |
The invention relates to a composite having inverse thermochromic properties, wherein the composite changes from an achromatic to a colored state at rising temperatures. The composite contains a dye, a developer, and a melting agent, and an inorganic filler. The invention further relates to a composite material comprising a polymer-based matrix, to which at least one composite having inverse thermochromic properties is added by doping. Said composite materials are used in the fields of sensor technology, solar technology, traffic engineering, and medical technology. |
