Abstract
Abstract Thermochromic particle-containing linear material product produced by the process characterized by dipping a core in the form of a monofilament or multifilament into a vinyl chloride resin sol composition having a thermochromic particulate material incorporated therein, the thermochromic particulate material being prepared by enclosing with a high polymer compound an electron-donating chromogenic substance, an electron-accepting substance for the chromogenic substance and a solvent having a boiling point of at least 150° C. and selected from the group consisting of alcohols, amides, esters and azomethines and further covering the resulting product with a different high polymer compound; withdrawing the core from the sol composition; and heating the core to gel the sol composition and cover the core with the gelled composition.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
Thermochromic particle-containing linear material product, produced by the process characterized by applying onto a core in the form of a monofilament or multifilament, a vinyl chloride resin sol composition having a thermochromic particulate material incorporated therein, the thermochromic particulate material being prepared by enclosing with (1) a high polymer compound in the form of a thermosetting resin, an electron-donating chromogenic substance, an electron-accepting substance for the chromogenic substance and a solvent having a boiling point of at least 150° C. and selected from the group consisting of alcohols, amides, esters and azomethines, and further covering the resulting product with (2) a different high polymer compound in the form of a hydrophilic high polymer compound, whereby to provide the particulate material as a double film of an inner thermosetting resin layer and an outer hydrophilic high polymer compound layer encapsulating said electron-donating chromogenic substance, said electron-accepting substance and said solvent, therewithin, and heating the core onto which said sol composition has been applied to gel the sol composition and cover the core with the gelled composition.
