Impact of SiO and TiO Nanoparticles on the Elasticity and Aging Resistance of Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc) Adhesive.

Adhesive modification with nanoparticles affects multiple adhesives properties, making it essential to evaluate and compare changes across all key characteristics-existing positive and limiting properties. This study investigates the impact of silica (SiO) and titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles on the elasticity and aging resistance of PVAc adhesive. Tensile properties were determined according to ISO 527-3:2018, with Young's moduli of elasticity Ε, and stress-strain curves for neat PVAc, nano-SiO PVAc, and nano-TiO PVAc adhesive.

Bisphenol A monitoring during anaerobic degradation of papers with thermochromic prints in soil.

Pseudoestrogene bisphenol A (BPA) can be important ingredient of thermochromic inks, increasingly used materials in thermal printing paper, security printing, advertising, design and as temperature indicators in medicine and food industry. BPA mass fraction in thermochromic inks can be up to several percent. Hence, disposal of items with thermochromic prints pose a risk of environmental pollution.

Understanding the Role of Paper-Ink Interactions on the Lightfastness of Thermochromic Prints.

Thermochromic inks (TC) have received increasing attention in recent years, particularly in the design and packaging industries. Their stability and durability are crucial for their application. This study highlights the detrimental effects of UV radiation on the lightfastness and reversibility of thermochromic prints.

Enhancing Applicability of Reversible UV Thermochromic Offset Inks: Edge Quality Parameters and Thermochromic Printing System Modulation Transfer Function.

Modern logo design is characterized by its ability to convey information through the use of various images and text compositions. These designs often use simple elements such as lines to capture the essence of a product. When using thermochromic inks in logo design, it is important to consider their composition and behavior, as they differ significantly from conventional printing inks.

Assessment of Thermochromic Packaging Prints' Resistance to UV Radiation and Various Chemical Agents.

Thermochromic inks, also known as color changing inks, are becoming increasingly important for various applications that range from smart packaging, product labels, security printing, and anti-counterfeit inks to applications such as temperature-sensitive plastics and inks printed onto ceramic mugs, promotional items, and toys. These inks are also gaining more attention as part of textile decorations and can also be found in some artistic works obtained with thermochromic paints, due to their ability to change color when exposed to heat. Thermochromic inks, however, are known to be sensitive materials to the influence of UV radiation, heat fluctuations, and various chemical agents.

Improvement in Thermochromic Offset Print UV Stability by Applying PCL Nanocomposite Coatings.

Thermochromic (TC) printing inks change their colouration as a response to a change in temperature. This ability renders them attractive for various applications such as smart packaging, security printing, and marketing, but their application is limited due to their low UV stability, i.e.
