绿–黄可逆电热致变色织物的制备及其性能

Preparation and Properties of Green-yellow Reversible Electro-thermochromic Fabric

石墨烯因其优异的导电性、优越的柔韧性和环境稳定性,在可穿戴电子纺织品领域发挥了重要作用。本工作通过丝网印刷技术分别将自制的石墨烯浆料和复合热致变色油墨印在聚酯织物的正反面,构筑了一种石墨烯基绿–黄可逆电热致变色织物。采用SEM、XRD以及FTIR等分析了织物的结构性质和变色原理,采用红外热成像仪及全色差色度仪研究了织物的热学以及变色性能。结果表明:石墨烯电热致变色织物厚度约为250μm,在12 V电压下逐渐加热超过45℃,焦耳热主要通过热传导至变色层,结晶紫内酯的闭开环实现绿–黄可逆变色,其变色响应时间约为15s,褪色响应时间约为27s。石墨烯电热致变色织物经历30°~180°的弯曲角度后,电压–电流曲线保持稳定。经200次加热/冷却循环后,性能未发生明显衰退。本研究成功制备了颜色在绿–黄之间变化、响应迅速、循环性能良好的可逆电热致变色织物:石墨烯膜‖聚酯织物‖热致变色膜,在可穿戴显示领域有一定的应用前景。

Graphene has played a major role in wearable electronic textiles due to its excellent electrical conductivity,superior flexibility and environmental stability.In this work,a green-yellow reversible electrothermochromic fabric was constructed via a facial double side coating.The self-made graphene paste is coated on the surface of polyester fabric by screen printing technology.The hybrid thermochromic ink with reversible color-changing property is coated on the opposite side of the graphene layer by screen printing technology.Structural properties and discoloration principle of the fabric were analyzed.Their thermal and color-changing properties were studied by using infrared thermal imaging and colorimeter.The results show that the graphene forms a conductive layer with a thickness of 250 μm that allows Joule heating to supply the thermal resource for the electrothermochromic behavior.This fabric changes from green to yellow with a gradual heating that exceeded 45 ℃ at 12 V due to the ring closure and opening of crystal violet lactone.Its color change response time is about 15 s,while fading response time is about 27 s.The electro-thermochromic fabric is not disturbed once undergoing a bending angle range from 30° to 180° and the voltage-current curve remains stable.Performance of the fabric does not significantly degrade after 200 heating/cooling continuous cycles.In conclusion,a sensitive electro-thermochromic fabric with good cycle performance from green to yellow with the structure of graphene film‖polyester fabric‖thermochromic film is successfully prepared,which has a high application potential in the fields of wearable display.
