Thermochromic scales?

[SG89]

Let’s get a mood ring Manix 2!
Would liquid crystal scales be feasible?
Perhaps solid aluminum or steel scale base with liquid crystals over the top then plastic over that…

Who’s with me?

What happened to the color changing "snake" pencils when we were kids?

I'm going to need an illustration, my brain can't put this together right now

Apparently they make thermochromic powder so perhaps it could be added to resin like the raffir noble chap… here’s an example of thermochromic

It sounds very interesting if it the strength of scales are there for use . It definitely would be a conversation starter . Would it glow in the dark or just change in color when in hand ? Sorry if silly question I don’t know much about the properties. MG2

They just change color depending on the temperature. Although thermoluminecent would be interesting, too.

I had a sweatshirt in middle school that did this. It was only two colors though. It didn’t show a spectrum. It was cool then. We liked to put handprints on each others backs. Some folks might be interested in the novelty?

I could see the FRN Japan models going this way for a sprint/exclusive like they did gitd and zome.

Hypercolor?

Nice, I think I only had 2 as well. If I recall they were expensive for the time.

I remember these! Made everyone look like they were sweating rainbows.

A working piece of art ! Sorry bad pun . MG2

After a bit of light reading, it seems that color change via liquid crystal would be difficult. Leuco dyes, like the ones in the aforementioned hypercolor clothes seem more viable.

also, this looks cool https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/article ... c3tc30094c
