Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Articles comprises iron oxide colloidal nanocrystals arranged within chains, wherein the chains of nanocrystals are embedded within a material used to form the article or a transfer medium used to transfer a color to the article are described. The material or transfer medium includes elastic properties that allow the nanocrystals to display a temporary color determined by the strength of an external force applied to the article, and the material or transfer medium includes memory properties that cause the displayed temporary color to dissipate when the external force is removed, wherein the dissipation of the displayed temporary color is sufficiently slow as to be visually observable by an average observer's unaided eye.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
That which is claimed is: 1. A material comprising iron oxide colloidal nanocrystals arranged within chains, wherein the chains of nanocrystals are embedded within the material, wherein the material allows the nanocrystals to elongate when an external force is applied to the material, wherein the nanocrystals display a color when elongated, wherein the color dissipates when the external force is no longer applied to the material. 2. The material of claim 1…
