Turning Silver to Gold: A Diacetylene Derivative-Based Metallic Luster Materials
2024.10.30
There have been many attempts to create monochromatic metallic materials, but few materials change luster color in response to external stimuli. In a recent breakthrough, researchers from Chiba University have prepared a diacetylene derivative-based metallic luster material that changes from silver to gold under UV irradiation. These findings are expected to find applications in decorative items, printing inks, photomask patterning, UV laser lithography, and cosmetics.
