Annotation:

Polymer nanocomposition consisting of homogeneously dispersed silver nanoparticles and organic luminescence dyes has been fabricated. It was demonstrated that this kind of composition acts as thermochromic material with such distinguished parameters as temperature controlled fine tuning of absorption and luminescence bands, upon the wide range of optical spectrum. We envisage that in the near future our nanocomposition can be considered as an advanced material, which offers a real engineering position in the areas, such as: fabrication thermo addressable luminescence displays and thermo optical printers, environmentally friendly thermo chromic clothes. In medicine: modelling, simulation and visualization of heat spreading to the surrounding biological medium, new possibilities for the measuring heat release at the nanoscale, fabrication nano sized storage media for quantum information devices, thermo controllable filters, windows and smart coatings, infrared image converters. A simple technology promises to fabricate thermo chromic material based cost-effective devices.
