With regard to the recent interests in smart textiles,this research activity has been conducted with the aim of producing a pattern changing design on textiles. In order to fulfill the demands of such dynamic patterns a combinationof conductive polymer and thermochromic pigments wereused. The textile substrate was coated by conductive polymer dispersion(PEDOT:PSS) and it was followed with printing thermochromic pigments on the surface of coating.The driving force of such thermochromic reaction has to be provided by the heat generated from conductive layer dueto the current of electricity passing through the conductivelayer. These experiments were continued by changing thecoating recipe in order to achieve the highest possible electrical resistance,which leads to the best initiation ofthermochromic reactions. / Program: Master programme in Textile Technology
