Protection of Light-Sensitive Blue Wool Fabric with Cellulose Acetate Films Containing Ultraviolet Stabilizers... 

Although the importance of environmental factors (temperature, rela-- -tive humidity, airborne contaminants, and oxygen) that affect the fading of dyed textiles exposed to artificial and natural light indoors is well documented (1,2), relatively little information exists on the effectiveness of UV stabilizers incorporated into plastic films to minimize or retard such fading. To obtain this information, light-sensitive blue wool fabric (AATCC L-4 standard) was exposed to light from a xenon-arc source, with and without protection by clear cellulose acetate films... 

Applications of conducting polymers include batteries (2), antistatic transparent films to protect sensitive microelectronic devices (2), antistatic fabrics (3), and sensors (4). Moreover, conducting polymers that change color when oxidized or reduced are the basis of smart windows (3). Blends of electrically conducting polymers have also been developed for applications such as rechargeable batteries (5), chemical and optical sensors (6), nonlinear optical devices (7), and light-emitting diodes (8).
