Farbentwickelnde kurze Verbundfasern und diese verwendende farbentwickelnde Strukturen

摘要

A color-developing composite short fiber having a length of 0.01 to 100 mm is obtained by cutting a color-developing short fiber capable of reflecting visible rays and interfering therewith consisting of two or more kinds of polymer compounds having different refractive indices which are laminated alternately, while a color-developing structure is formed by binding particles of the short fiber one another, dispersing the short fiber in or mixing it with other materials to be bound therewith or adhering the short fiber on the surface of a support. Further, a color-developing composite short fiber having a length of 0.01 to 100 mm is obtained by cutting a color-developing composite fiber comprising two or more polymer compounds having different refractive indices which are laminated alternately to constitute a layer capable of reflecting visible rays and interfering therewith and a layer capable of reflecting invisible rays and interfering therewith, while a color-developing structure is formed by binding particles of the short fiber one another, dispersing the short fiber in or mixing it with other materials to be bound therewith or adhering the short fiber on the surface of a support. These color-developing short fibers and structures maintain high reflectance to develop colors with high transparency and exhibit excellent designability.
