Chemical Tracking of Temperature by Concurrent Periodic Precipitation Pattern Formation in Polyacrylamide Gels

Muhammad Turab Ali Khan et al.

Summary: This study aims to achieve an artificial system that can record environmental temperature changes by using periodic precipitation patterns. The research found that there are differences between precipitation patterns formed at different temperatures, and these differences can reflect the time, ramp steepness, and extent of temperature changes. Through mathematical modeling and scanning electron microscopy analysis, it was also found that the average size of CuCrO4 precipitates can reflect temperature changes. Additionally, these changes can be recorded in 2-D and 3-D precipitation patterns, which have applications in temperature tracking and soft material design.
