Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005121450A1] The present invention relates to improvements in security devices that can be used in varying shapes and sizes for authenticating or security applications. In particular, the invention refers to a durable security device (10) comprising a layer (12) that switches from opaque to transparent at a specified temperature. The security device (10) comprises an activatable layer (12) of polymeric material comprising a hard segment and crystallisable soft segment or at least one soft segment which is crosslinked and contains a crystallisable soft segment. The segments are selected to provide a predetermined activation temperature whereby the layer (12) is opaque at temperatures below the activation temperature and becomes transparent at temperatures above the activation temperature.
