Summary:

This first title in the new Smithers Rapra Updates series focuses on the thermochromic phenomena in polymers. The content is structured according to the thermochromic material type. Chapter 1 will give an overview about polymers exhibiting thermochromic properties themselves. Thermochromic polymer systems obtained by doping the polymer matrix with thermochromic additives are reported in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 reviews on polymer systems in which the interaction between the polymer matrix and an incorporated additive is the origin of thermochromism. Finally, in the fourth chapter polymer system
