ABSTRACT
Partial dissolution and plasticization are used for recording, storing, and reproducing information with modified industrial screen-printing equipment and aqueous solutions of colorless organic liquids on small surface area shape memory polymer films. To justify the choice of "ink" and evaluate the effectiveness of using organic liquids as high-speed polymer solvents, the new method for recording hidden information uses the calculation of the solubility parameter, differential scanning calorimetry, and the method of one-sided swelling of films under isometric conditions. Using the example of tactile marking of shrink labels made of polyvinyl chloride, the optimal conditions for recording hidden information on a film are established in terms of the concentration of an aqueous solution of tetrahydrofuran, the contact time, and the processing temperature of the polymer using screen printing equipment.
ABSTRACT
This study characterizes the use of transparent low-density polyethylene laminate films for the purpose of recording digital information in the form of linear and color two-dimensional matrix codes that are distinguishable in polarized light. Color characteristics of multilayer laminated materials made from polyethylene and heat treatment methods for changing their coloring are examined. The contribution of the number of multilayer film interfaces to the lightness and color of the laminate is shown. Melt-extruded industrial polyethylene film heat treatment methods by convection, conduction, and radiation, to control their optical characteristics and color in polarized light, are studied.
