Chromogenicity
Chromogenicity refers to the ability of a substance to produce a color change as a result of a chemical, physical, or biological stimulus. This property is often exploited in various scientific and technological applications, including imaging, sensing, and display technologies. The term derives from the Greek words "chroma," meaning color, and "genesis," meaning origin or creation.
In materials science, chromogenicity is a key feature of chromogenic materials such as photochromic, thermochromic, and
The measurement and analysis of chromogenicity involve evaluating color change characteristics, including contrast, response time, and
Chromogenicity has broad relevance across industries. In security printing, it enables covert or temperature-sensitive information display.
Overall, chromogenicity encapsulates the dynamic ability of substances to exhibit reversible or irreversible color changes, driven
