Abstract:In this study, two reversible thermochromic composites were obtained, hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) and amino group-modified hollow mesoporous silica (HMS-NH2) microspheres loaded with cresol red-boric acid (CR-BA), respectively. Owing to the rigid structure of hollow interior and mesoporous shell layers, CR-BA was easily encapsulated into a relatively high loading capacity micro-carrier. The composites analysed were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy transmission electron microscopy, sc… Show more
