CHROMOGENIC
MATERIALS
Chromogenic materials change their colour in
accordance to electrical, thermal or radiative stimuli.
Chromogenic materials are of three type
(1)Thermochromic Materials
(2)Photochromic Materials
(3)Electrochromic Materials
• Major Applications:
Lenses
Supramolecular chemistry
Dyes
 Paints
Cosmetics
Clothing
