Article Synopsis
- Water-soluble dipyridinium thiazolo[5,4-]thiazole (TTz) compounds are added to affordable poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/borax films, resulting in fast color-changing effects and oxygen sensing capabilities.
- The films transition from clear/yellow to purple and blue when illuminated, with the speed and contrast of these changes influenced by the polymer matrix and TTz concentration.
- These films not only exhibit color changes but also mechanical contractions under light, making them suitable for applications like smart windows, displays, and oxygen-sensing packaging.
