Abstract

U ovom završnom radu provedeno je eksperimentalno ispitivanje kolorimetrijskih

karakteristika termokromne sitotiskarske boje na različitim tiskovnim podlogama.

Korištena je boja na bazi leukobojila. Po svojim svojstvima, takve boje su reverzibilne,

što znači da prilikom zagrijavanja prelaze iz jednog obojenja u drugo, te se hlađenjem

vraćaju u prvobitno obojenje. U svrhu ovog eksperimentalnog ispitivanja termokromna

sitotiskarska boja je otisnuta na pet različitih tiskovnih podloga (papira). Za ispitivanje

otisnutih uzoraka, te određivanje njihovih kolorimetrijskih karakteristika koristio se

spektrofotometar Ocean Optics USB 2000+ i računalni program SpectraSuite. Kako bi se

optičke karakteristike termokromnih boja mogle odrediti, uzorci su zagrijavani, te potom

hlađeni uređajem koji je posebno dizajniran za mjerenje termokromnih boja. Taj uređaj

se naziva EK Water Blocks, EKWB d.o.o, Slovenija. Nakon izvršenih mjerenja, dobiveni

rezultati su obrađeni i interpretirani grafovima. Karakterističan graf kojim se najbolje

opisuju karakteristike termokromnih boja, te njihova promjena su histereze.

Termokromni sutav ima memoriju, tj. nije moguće predvidjeti izlaz bez poznavanja puta

kojim se došlo prije trenutno postignutog stanja. Takav fenomen se naziva histereza.

Termokromni materijali pripadaju nekolicini fizikalnih sustava sa histerezom. Ovo

ispitivanje je pokazalo kako promjena obojenja nije točna na definiranoj temperaturi

aktivacije (TA) kako je to navedeno od proizvođača. Do promjene dolazi na

temperaturama približnim TA, te se boja ne ponaša jednako na različitim tiskovnim

podlogama. Pokazalo se da glatki papiri s većim udjelom vlage i pepela (punila)

povoljnije djeluju na termokromnu promjenu prilikom zagrijavanja, te da je usporavaju

prilikom hlađenja.

Abstract (english)

In this thesis, the study was conducted to determine colorimetric characteristics of

thermochromatic screen printing on different printing surfaces. The color which was used

is based on leuco dyes. By its properties, such colors are reversible, which means that

during the heating process their coloration changes, and by cooling down the color goes

back into the original state. For this experimental study, thermochromatic leuco dye was

printed on five different printing surfaces (papers). For examination of printed samples

and determination of their colorimetric characteristics, the spectrophotometer Ocean

Optics USB 2000+ and computer software SpectraSuite were used. To determine optical

characteristics of thermochromatic colors, samples were first heated, and afterwards

cooled in the device which is specially design for this purpose. This device is called EK

Water Block, EKWB d.o.o, Slovenija. After all measurements were done, given results

were processed and interpreted in charts. Chart which best describes characteristics of

thermochromatic colors is called hysteresis. Thermochromatic system has a memory, or

in other words, it is not possible to predict the output without knowing the way with which

it came before currently accomplished state. Such a phenomenon is called hysteresis.

Thermochromatic materials belong to a dozen of physical systems with hysteresis. This

examination showed that change in coloring does not apply for activation temperature

(TA), as defined by manufacturer, but rather on the temperatures near TA. Also, it was

concluded that the color does not act the same on different printing surfaces and that

smooth papers with a bigger amount of moisture and ash (filler) have a better effect on

thermochromatic change during the heating process, and a lower effect during cooling.
