Investigation of the Bleaching Properties of Photochromic Nanocomposites Based on Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) and Tungstophosphoric Acid
Abstract
We have shown that the discoloration of photochromic poly(vinyl alcohol)–tungstophosphoric acid (PVA-TPA) nanocomposite films and PVA-TPA films containing glycerol (PVA-TPA-GL) colored by UV irradiation can be greatly accelerated by increasing the concentration of GL in the films and the ambient relative humidity. This study resolves the issues of polymer-heteropolyacid nanocomposites associated with their slow bleaching and, thus, makes them potentially applicable as new functional materials for inkless and erasable printing, anti-counterfeiting, sensors, smart windows.
