Anti-counterfeiting fiber system with near-infrared wavelength selectivity based on photothermal and thermochromic dyes.

ABSTRACT: Anti-counterfeiting (ACF) technology plays a crucial role in distinguishing genuine products from counterfeits, as well as in identity verification. Moreover, it serves as a protective measure for safeguarding the rights of individuals, companies, and governments. In this study, a high-level ACF technology was developed using a color-conversion system based on the photothermal effect of near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Diimonium dye (DID), which is a photothermal dye, was selected because it is an NIR absorbing dye with over 98% transparency in the visible light (vis) region. Due to the photothermal properties of DID, the temperature increased to approximately 65 °C at 1064 nm and 39 °C at 808 nm, respectively. Additionally, we employed a donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct dye, a thermochromi
