Photochromic cotton fabric based on microcapsule technology with anti-fouling properties
Abstract(#br)In this paper, we prepare a novel photochromic hydrophobic cotton fabric with high sensitivity after irradiated by ultraviolet light, excellent fatigue resistance, and good hydrophobic properties. Additionally, it can quickly return to the primary color under conditions of green light, heat or dark, respectively. The target photochromic spiropyrane compound was firstly synthesized and prepared into microcapsules as core and chitosan as shell to improve the fatigue resistance.
