heat-sensitive materials

Heat-sensitive materials are substances that change their properties or appearance when exposed to certain temperatures. These materials can respond by changing color, shape, or state, making temperature changes visible or measurable. For example, heat-sensitive paints reveal temperature patterns, and thermochromatic materials transition colors as they heat up or cool down. They are used in various applications like temperature indicators, medical diagnostics, and safety devices. Their ability to react predictably to heat makes them valuable tools for monitoring and assessing temperature-related processes safely and effectively.
