  • Patent number: 10133093
    Abstract: The invention relates to doping capsules which have a substance which displays a decreasing transparency with increasing temperature within a defined temperature range due to physicochemical interactions with the polymer matrix to be doped. Likewise, the invention relates to composite systems which have a polymer matrix doped with the doping capsules. The capsules according to the invention are used for sun protection or heat reflection.

  • Patent number: 8303857
    Abstract: The invention relates to a composite with inverse thermochromic properties, the composite changing from a colorless into a colored state with increasing temperature. The composite thereby contains a colorant, a developer and a fluxing agent and also an inorganic filler. The invention likewise relates to a composite material which contains a polymer-based matrix into which at least one composite with inverse thermochromic properties is doped. These composite materials are used in the field of sensor technology, solar technology, transport and communications technology and medical technology.
