Clear to white polymer/paint
Clear to white polymer/paint
(OP)
Hi,
New to the forum here. Cheers to engineers.
I'm looking for a polymer that will go from clear to bright white.
This can be through any reasonable pathway that is safe for consumers, for example:
-Heating
-UV treatment
The polymer can be in a monomer state to start with or already polymerized
Let me know if you have any ideas, thanks,
Mike

I need something that an end user can treat at home to get the effect.
For example, something I was considering was a layer of monomer between two sheets of clear polymer... the monomer would then polymerize and turn bright white when the object was left in the sun.

I developed and patented a material that does exactly that. It transitions reversibly when heated. More information can be found here:

Note however, the effect will be limited if the material thickness is too thin.
All the best,
