On Textile Printing with Thermochromic Inks
inks to textile design practice. The main motivation has been to explore the design
properties and potentials of leuco dye-based thermochromic inks when printed on
textiles in order to obtain an understanding and facilitate the design of dynamic
surface patterns. The significance of this is related to the development of a
methodology to assist designers in seeing possibilities, making informed decisions,
and predicting colour transitions at different temperatures when designing a
dynamic surface pattern.
The research was conducted by undertaking a series of design experiments
using leuco dye-based thermochromic inks, which resulted in various working
methods and two pedagogical tools. This process offered the insight and depth of
understanding required to design dynamic surface patterns, in that it highlighted
the different colour-changing properties of leuco dye-based thermochromic inks,
which have the potential to create a more complex and dynamic range of patterns
on textiles than those that exist today. There is much to explore beyond the current
design possibilities offered by thermochromic inks, and it is hoped that designers
and researchers can apply the knowledge that has been obtained during the work of
this thesis to their practical explorations so as to move towards new ways of thinking
and designing, and further innovation in textile design
