Abstract

A flexible reversible color change poly-(10,12-tricosadiynoic acid) TCDA-ZnO (2.5 wt%) composite based chromatic sensor was successfully designed and fabricated by inkjet printing. Fabricated sensors showed good reversibility and stable chromatic properties with color transition temperature at 70 C. Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) - Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra show chelate formation between TCDA and ZnO. Temperature-dependent Raman spectra indicate that the blue-red phase of poly-TCDA-ZnO (2.5 wt%) is thermally triggered at 70 C and the amorphous phase is formed near 120 C. An inkjet printed Quick Response (QR) code using poly TCDA-ZnO demonstrates a sensory functionality which can be incorporated in these codes.
