Paperback : HK$792.00
This informative volume reflects the state of art in the science of color-changeable materials and provides an abundance of in-depth knowledge about the field of colorimetry. The book describes the facts behind the chromic phenomena from the point of application, spectrophotometry of chromic materials, and instrumentation and testing.
The authors begin with a short historical overview of the chromic phenomena, chromic materials, and classification of chromic materials and then go on to provide comprehensive treatises on chromic (or color-changeable) textiles and production techniques. Detailed descriptions of measurement methods that are usable in cases of translucent or opaque materials are provided as well.
A number of new concepts are discussed along with standardized CIE (International Commission on Illumination) colorimetry with various CIE color space systems. Chromic materials appear as a dynamic system, which allows for a wide range of potential applications and related research. The authors share their own experiences with measurement of color chromic materials with the view to help fill the huge gap in field of measurement from the point of view in standardization. The authors conclude with an in-depth study of the testing of chromic testing, including testing for color fastness, fatigue resistance, light fastness, wash fastness, and rubbing fastness.

"A welcome addition to the literature. It presents a holistic
interdisciplinary approach to resolve these global problems of
irrigated and dry land regions."
—Dr. Ashwani Kumar, Former Director, Directorate of Water
Management, (Now ICAR- Indian Institute of Water Management), India
"In the context of 800 million people remaining hungry currently,
to feed 9.7 billion people in 2050 will be a real challenge. While
some respite is foreseen through management of land and water
resources, reclamation of degraded land and water resources
provides an opportunity that needs to be unlocked. This volume
presents some interdisciplinary keys to unlock the potential of
salt affected saline/sodic soils for higher productivity."
—Dr. C. L. Acharya, Former Director, ICAR- Indian Institute of Soil
Science, India
