Polymer Optical Waveguide Sensor Based on Fe-Amino-Triazole Complex Molecular Switches by Muhammad Shaukat Khan, Hunain Farooq, Christopher Wittmund, Stephen Klimke, Roland Lachmayer, Franz Renz, Bernhard Roth

“…As temperature approaches room temperature, a spin-crossover transition occurs, and the molecular complex changes its color (i.e. spectral properties) from violet-pink to white. The measurement of the optical power transmitted through the waveguide as a function of temperature exhibits a memory effect with a hysteresis width of approx. 12 °C and sensitivity of 0.08 mW/°C. …”

Influence of UV Radiation on the Color Change of the Surface of Steamed Maple Wood with Saturated Water Steam by Ladislav Dzurenda, Michal Dudiak, Eva Výbohová

“…The wood of maple (<i>Acer Pseudopatanus</i> L.) was steamed with a saturated steam-air mixture at a temperature of <i>t</i> = 95 °C or saturated steam at <i>t</i> = 115 °C and <i>t</i> = 135 °C, in order to give a pale pink-brown, pale brown, and brown-red color. Subsequently, samples of unsteamed and steamed maple wood were irradiated with a UV lamp in a Xenotest Q-SUN Xe-3-H after drying, in order to test the color stability of steamed maple wood. …”
