Abstract
Today, the rubber is used not only in technology products but also in household products. In this study, thermolchromic rubber exhibiting the available color changing property with the ambient temperature alteration is fabricated. The effects of thermochromic pigment content and silica filler on the mechanical properties and color-changing durability of the rubber compound are investigated. The results show that the introduction of thermolchromic pigment of 1 wt.% into the rubber phase does not adversely affect the mechanical property, while creating the novel color-changing property of the rubber compond. Furthermore, the color-changing durability of the rubber compound maintains after more than 100 cycles, while the original color does not change compared to before the durable test.
