Campo tecnico dell?invenzione Technical field of the invention

L?invenzione riguarda un filo elettrocromico che ? in grado di generare tessuti a colorazione variabile per applicazioni di piccoli voltaggi elettrici. A tutti gli effetti il filo dell?invenzione ? un super capacitore che dissipa una limitatissima potenza elettrica nei processi di carica e scarica. Il filo dell?invenzione, illustrato nella Fig. 1, ? costituito da due fibre intrecciate (11 e 12), isolate elettricamente da uno strato protettivo di polimero non elettricamente conduttivo (13). Ciascuna delle due fibre ? costituita da una stratificazione di tre strati concentrici (Fig. 2) di cui il primo ? il core di supporto e elettricamente conduttivo (21), il secondo ? uno strato elettrocromicamente attivo contenente nanoparticelle conduttive (22), il terzo ? un blend polimerico dielettrico (23). Sono anche oggetto della presente invenzione i tessuti che potranno essere fabbricati con detto filo, il sistema di alimentazione elettrica e di controllo della colorazione del tessuto, schematizzato nella Fig.3. Il tessuto (31) ? alimentato da una batteria a tensione variabile (32) gestita da un microprocessore (33) connesso, attraverso un modulo Bluetooth (34), ad una applicazione installata su uno Smartphone (34) che consente di variare il colore del tessuto. The invention concerns an electrochromic thread which is capable of generating fabrics with variable colors for applications of small electrical voltages. To all intents and purposes, the thread of the invention ? a super capacitor that dissipates a very limited electric power in the charge and discharge processes. The thread of the invention, illustrated in Fig. 1, is consisting of two intertwined fibers (11 and 12), electrically insulated by a protective layer of non-electrically conductive polymer (13). Each of the two fibers ? constituted by a stratification of three concentric layers (Fig. 2) of which the first ? the support core is electrically conductive (21), the second ? an electrochromically active layer containing conductive nanoparticles (22), the third ? a dielectric polymer blend (23). Also objects of the present invention are the fabrics which can be manufactured with said thread, the system for electric power supply and control of the color of the fabric, schematically shown in Fig.3. The fabric (31) ? powered by a variable voltage battery (32) managed by a microprocessor (33) connected, via a Bluetooth module (34), to an application installed on a Smartphone (34) which allows to vary the color of the fabric.

Stato dell?arte State of art

Nella letteratura sono presenti due esempi di fili elettrocromici che rappresentano l?arte pregressa alla presente invenzione. Uno ? relativo alla domanda di brevetto TW200907129A nel quale viene descritto un filo elettrocromico costituito dalla sovrapposizione di due fili, ciascuno dei quali a sua volta ? costituito da una filo metallico centrale al quale viene sovrapposto un polimero conduttore che a sua volta viene ricoperto da un elettrolita. I due fili vengono accoppiati e tenuti insieme da un ultimo strato di polimero trasparente. Le principali differenze della presente invenzione rispetto a quella relativa alla domanda di brevetto TW200907129A sono: In the literature there are two examples of electrochromic wires which represent the prior art of the present invention. One ? relating to the patent application TW200907129A which describes an electrochromic wire consisting of the superimposition of two wires, each of which in turn ? consisting of a central metal wire to which a conductive polymer is superimposed which in turn is covered by an electrolyte. The two wires are coupled and held together by a last layer of transparent polymer. The main differences of the present invention compared to the one relating to the patent application TW200907129A are:

Lo strato elettrocromicamente attivo di ciascuno dei due fili che compongono il filo, nel caso della presente invenzione, ? una miscela polimerica contente nanoparticelle conduttive, con particolare preferenza per i Carbon Nano Tube (CNT). La presenza di dette particelle nel film elettro-cromicamente attivo rappresenta un fattore di notevole innovazione rispetto al passato. Da una parte non ? pi? strettamente necessario che il polimero costitutivo del secondo strato debba essere un polimero elettrocromico conduttivo, in quanto la funzione conduttiva viene assegnata alle nano particelle, mentre la funzione elettrocromica pu? essere assegnata a molecole elettrocromiche di piccole dimensioni che insieme alle nano particelle vengono disperse in una matrice polimerica di elevatissime propriet? ottiche e meccaniche. I polimeri conduttori di cui alla domanda di brevetto TW200907129A hanno limitazioni che sono tipiche dei polimeri conduttivi: scarse propriet? meccaniche, vita media piuttosto breve, conducibilit? elettriche non molto elevate. Lo strato attivo della presente invenzione pu? invece essere costituito con un polimero di elevate qualit? meccaniche ed ottiche come ad esempio il Polivinil Butirrale (PVB) o anche polimeri altrettanto performanti, ma con l?aggiunta della loro biodegradabilita (propriet? ecologicamente importante a fine vita) come il Polidrossibutirrato (PHB), l?Acido Polilattico (PLA), il Polidrossivalerato (PHV), o miscele di questi. Tutti questi polimeri diventano estrinsecamente conduttivi quando sono addizionati di nano particelle conduttive e diventano elettrocromici quando sono addizionati di piccole molecole stabili elettrocromiche. In sostanza, si sta asserendo che la realizzazione di uno strato conduttivo elettrocromico con propriet? ottimali da tutti i punti di vista, nell?attuale invenzione viene assegnata ad un composito polimerico piuttosto che ad un solo Polimero Intrinsecamente Conduttivo (ICP). Ci? non esclude che in particolari applicazioni di questa invenzione non debbano essere utilizzati compositi polimerici in cui anche i Polimeri Intrinsecamente Conduttivi, attraverso l?aggiunta di nano particelle conduttive ottimizzano le propriet? di conduzione (la cui conduzione pu? essere di ordini di grandezza superiore rispetto a quella dei polimeri intrinsecamente conduttivi). Le propriet? elettrocromiche dei polimeri conduttivi sono inoltre estremamente limitate come frequenze spettrali, mentre ? disponibile una gamma praticamente illimitata di piccole molecole elettrocromiche sia di tipo anodico sia di tipo catodico, che consentono di operare elettrocromicamente in campi molto ampi dello spettro del visibile e del vicino infrarosso e che possono essere impiegate dissolvendole in matrici polimeriche del tipo sopra menzionato. The electrochromically active layer of each of the two wires which make up the wire, in the case of the present invention, is a polymer blend containing conductive nanoparticles, with particular preference for Carbon Nano Tubes (CNT). The presence of said particles in the electrochromically active film represents a factor of considerable innovation with respect to the past. On the one hand isn't it? more strictly necessary that the constituent polymer of the second layer must be an electrochromic conductive polymer, as the conductive function is assigned to the nano particles, while the electrochromic function can be assigned to small electrochromic molecules which together with the nano particles are dispersed in a polymeric matrix of very high properties? optics and mechanics. The conductive polymers referred to in patent application TW200907129A have limitations which are typical of conductive polymers: poor properties? mechanical, average life rather short, conductivity? electrical not very high. The active layer of the present invention can instead be made with a polymer of high quality? mechanical and optical properties such as Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) or equally performing polymers, but with the addition of their biodegradability (ecologically important property at the end of their life) such as Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), Polylactic Acid (PLA), Polyhydroxyvalerate (PHV), or mixtures of these. All these polymers become extrinsically conductive when conductive nano particles are added and become electrochromic when electrochromic stable small molecules are added. In essence, it is asserted that the creation of an electrochromic conductive layer with properties? optimal from all points of view, in the present invention it is assigned to a polymeric composite rather than to a single Intrinsically Conductive Polymer (ICP). There? does not exclude that in particular applications of this invention polymeric composites should not be used in which also the Intrinsically Conductive Polymers, through the addition of conductive nano particles, optimize the properties? conduction (whose conduction can be orders of magnitude higher than that of intrinsically conductive polymers). The properties? electrochromic characteristics of conductive polymers are also extremely limited in terms of spectral frequencies, while ? available a practically unlimited range of small electrochromic molecules of both the anodic and cathodic type, which allow to operate electrochromically in very broad fields of the visible and near infrared spectrum and which can be used by dissolving them in polymeric matrices of the type mentioned above.

Un secondo aspetto innovativo della presente invenzione ? connesso al fatto che il filo core centrale non debba essere soltanto un filo metallico. I fili di tipo metallico infatti hanno ottime propriet? di resistenza meccanica e hanno una ottima conduttivit? elettrica ma presentano vari inconvenienti, quali la bassa elasticit?, una notevole pesantezza, una notevole fragilit?, un costo elevato, che sono da evitare in fili che debbano generare tessuti indossabili e confortevoli. La presente invenzione prevede l?impiego di un core centrale che possa anche essere costituito da un conduttore intrinseco polimerico drogato con CNT (ad esempio polianilina (PANI) drogata con CNT, che consente l?ottenimento di filati con propriet? fisiche straordinarie (high aspect ratio, leggerezza, buone conduttivit? elettriche e termiche). Anche le propriet? meccaniche delle fibre di polimeri come il PANI, ottenute per addizione di CNT, sono migliori rispetto a quelle delle fibre originarie. Attualmente, tali fibre possono essere ottenute mediante processi di wet spinning facili da realizzare. Sono riportati in letteratura dati che confermano il fatto che fibre di questo tipo possono raggiungere una conducibilit? dell?ordine di circa 2000 S cm<-1>. Anche se queste conducibilit? restano ovviamente inferiori a quelle dei metalli per pi? di un ordine di grandezza, si pu? senza dubbio recuperare conduttivit? incrementando adeguatamente il diametro del core di supporto. Ci? non esclude che per particolari tessuti anche la nostra invenzione possa prevedere il fatto che il core centrale del filo elettrocromico possa essere costituito da una filo metallico. A second innovative aspect of the present invention? related to the fact that the central core wire should not be just a metal wire. In fact, metallic-type wires have excellent properties? of mechanical resistance and have an excellent conductivity? electricity but have various drawbacks, such as low elasticity, considerable heaviness, considerable fragility, high cost, which are to be avoided in threads which have to generate wearable and comfortable fabrics. The present invention provides for the use of a central core which can also be constituted by a CNT-doped polymeric intrinsic conductor (for example CNT-doped polyaniline (PANI), which allows to obtain yarns with extraordinary physical properties (high aspect ratio, lightness, good electrical and thermal conductivity).The mechanical properties of polymer fibers such as PANI, obtained by addition of CNT, are also better than those of the original fibers.Currently, these fibers can be obtained by means of easy to make wet spinning.Data are reported in the literature which confirm the fact that fibers of this type can reach a conductivity of the order of about 2000 S cm<-1>.Although these conductivities obviously remain lower than those of metals for more than an order of magnitude, conductivity can undoubtedly be recovered by suitably increasing the diameter of the support core. that for particular fabrics also our invention can foresee the fact that the central core of the electrochromic thread can be constituted by a metallic thread.

Per completezza, si riporta che recentemente ? stata introdotta da Yang Zhou, Yan Zhao, Jian Fang and Tong Lin in Electrochromic/supercapacitive dual functional fibres (RSC Advances, 2016, 6, 110164), una nuova tipologia di fibra elettrocromica. In questo lavoro viene presentato un sistema su singola fibra nel quale uno strato di polimero elettroattivo viene depositato su un elettrodo superficiale di oro. Il core del film ? stato costituito da una fibra in PVC avente un diametro di 2 mm. Su questo substrato sono state depositate, mediante tecnica di sputtering, due strisce elicoidali conduttive di oro, sulle quali ? stato depositato per elettrodeposizione il polimero conduttivo elettrocromico PEDOT. Infine sull?intera fibra ? stato depositato uno strato elettrolitico sottile costituito da un gel a base di Polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) plasticizzato con Propilen Carbonato (PC) ed addizionato da sali di litio. Questo sistema richiede l?uso di un metallo molto costoso e di tecniche di manifattura piuttosto complesse. Inoltre lo stato esterno della fibra elettrocromica ? un gel comunque dotato di conducibilit? elettrica di tipo ionico e non sarebbe stabile a processi di lavaggio. For completeness, it is reported that recently ? was introduced by Yang Zhou, Yan Zhao, Jian Fang and Tong Lin in Electrochromic/supercapacitive dual functional fibers (RSC Advances, 2016, 6, 110164), a new type of electrochromic fiber. In this work a single fiber system is presented in which an electroactive polymer layer is deposited on a gold surface electrode. The core of the film? was made of a PVC fiber having a diameter of 2 mm. On this substrate two conductive helical strips of gold were deposited by sputtering technique, on which ? the PEDOT electrochromic conductive polymer was deposited by electrodeposition. Finally on the entire fiber? a thin electrolytic layer was deposited consisting of a Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) based gel plasticized with Propylene Carbonate (PC) and added with lithium salts. This system requires the use of a very expensive metal and rather complex manufacturing techniques. Furthermore, the external state of the electrochromic fiber? a gel, however, equipped with conductivity? electrical type and would not be stable in washing processes.
