Abstract
Abstract A composition is described comprising at least two co-crystallized acetylenic compounds, of different chemical structures, each containing at least one -C 3BOND C-C 3BOND C- group and substituents selected from the group consisting of sulfonate, urethane and alcohol radicals, at least one of the compounds capable of ungergoing a contrasting color change upon exposure to actinic radiation or thermal annealing, wherein the composition exhibits a substantially different thermogram than the sum of thermograms of the individual components as obtained by differential scanning alorimetry. A device is also described useful for measuring the time-temperature or radiation-dosage history of an article comprising a substrate having deposited thereon the described composition. A process is also described for producing the composition of this invention.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A process for producing a co-crystallized composition of at least two different acetylenic compounds, each containing at least one --C.tbd.C--C.tbd.C-- group and substituents selected from the group consisting of sulfonate, urethane and alcohol radicals, at least one of said compounds being capable of undergoing a contrasting color change upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation, gamma radiation, or electron beam, or to thermal annealing; which composition exhibits a substantially different thermogram than the sum of the thermograms of the individual components as obtained by differential scanning calorimetry; said process consisting essentially of forming a solution of said different acetylenic compounds and recovering said co-crystallized composition from the solution by rapidly and substantially decreasing the solubility of said composition in the solution to thereby obtain co-crystallization before crystallization of the acetylenic compounds separately, by using a means of the groups consisting of (a) fast removal of solvent and (b) rapid mixing of the solution with about 1 to 10 parts, per part of solvent, of a liquid which is miscible with the solvent but is a non-solvent for the co-crystallized composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
A process for producing a co-crystallized composition of at least two different acetylenic compounds, each containing at least one --C.tbd.C--C.tbd.C-- group and substituents selected from the group consisting of sulfonate, urethane and alcohol radicals, at least one of said compounds being capable of undergoing a contrasting color change upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation, gamma radiation, or electron beam, or to thermal annealing; which composition exhibits a substantially different thermogram than the sum of the thermograms of the individual components as obtained by differential scanning calorimetry; said process consisting essentially of forming a solution of said different acetylenic compounds and recovering said co-crystallized composition from the solution by rapidly and substantially decreasing the solubility of said composition in the solution to thereby obtain co-crystallization before crystallization of the acetylenic compounds separately, by using a means of the groups consisting of (a) fast removal of solvent and (b) rapid mixing of the solution with about 1 to 10 parts, per part of solvent, of a liquid which is miscible with the solvent but is a non-solvent for the co-crystallized composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
Process of claim 1 wherein said removal of solvent is accomplished by rapid spray drying while depositing said composition upon a substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
Process of claim 1 wherein the solubility of said composition in the solution is decreased by rapidly adding the solution with stirring to said non-solvent liquid, said stirring being adequate to insure complete conversion of the acetylenic compounds to a co-crystallized composition.
