Abstract
Carbonless copy paper, used to make countless copies of forms, is a 109 kg business annually. Copies are made when the pressure of a pen ruptures microcapsules that contain a dye precursor, initiating a chemical reaction between the dye precursor in the top page and an acid source in the bottom page.

Triggered Release from Polymer Capsules
Aaron P. Esser-Kahn, Susan A. Odom, Nancy R. Sottos, Scott R. White, and Jeffrey S. MooreMacromolecules2011 Article ASAPTriggered Release from Polymer Capsules
Aaron P. Esser-Kahn, Susan A. Odom, Nancy R. Sottos, Scott R. White, and Jeffrey S. MooreMacromolecules2011 Article ASAPStimuli-responsive capsules are of interest in drug delivery, fragrance release, food preservation, and self-healing materials. Many methods are used to trigger the release of encapsulated contents. Here we highlight mechanisms for the controlled release ...

Demonstrating Encapsulation and Release: A New Take on Alginate Complexation and the Nylon Rope Trick
Andrienne C. Friedli and Inge R. Schlager , Stephen W. WrightJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (7), 1017Demonstrating Encapsulation and Release: A New Take on Alginate Complexation and the Nylon Rope Trick
Andrienne C. Friedli and Inge R. Schlager , Stephen W. WrightJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (7), 1017Three variations on a classroom demonstration of the encapsulation of droplets and evidence for release of the interior solution are described. The first two demonstrations mimic biocompatible applications of encapsulation. Reversible formation of ...
Dual Fluorescence from Two Polar Excited States in One Molecule. Structurally Additive Photophysics of Crystal Violet Lactone
Jerzy KarpiukThe Journal of Physical Chemistry A2004 108 (51), 11183-11195Dual Fluorescence from Two Polar Excited States in One Molecule. Structurally Additive Photophysics of Crystal Violet Lactone
Jerzy KarpiukThe Journal of Physical Chemistry A2004 108 (51), 11183-11195Crystal violet lactone (CVL) emits in aprotic solvents at room temperature single (A band, low polar solvents) or dual (A and B bands, medium and highly polar solvents) fluorescence. Strong solvatochromic shifts of both fluorescence bands prove ...
Thermochromism in Commercial Products
Mary Anne White and Monique LeBlancJournal of Chemical Education1999 76 (9), 1201Thermochromism in Commercial Products
Mary Anne White and Monique LeBlancJournal of Chemical Education1999 76 (9), 1201Many commercial products change color with a change of temperature. How do they do it? The processes responsible for the two major categories of commercial thermochromic coloring agents are presented, along with a description of applications of ...
