Design de superfície: um estudo sobre a aplicação de materiais inteligentes na estamparia têxtil

Abstract

This graduation work of the course of Bachelor of Design UTFPR presents the development of a surface design project, under the focus of a collection of patterns for textile printing by using smart materials for the purpose of promoting innovation in the design field of activity . The study has beginning with the theoretical axis wich presents the concepts about the surface, their definitions, approaches and an interactive class: the reactive and expressive surfaces. Such surfaces have the ability to promote interaction with the environment. And among the possible types of interaction, the research seeks to propose deepening in materials promoting the color change when stimulated. The exemplify: the photochomic materials (color changing solar radiation), the thermochromic (color change by temperature variation) and hydrochromic (color change by contact with water). Thus portrays the chromatic phenomena cited in order to clarify its workings. Ahead, the surface design is exposed through its features, concepts, and applications. Finalizing this axis, it is deployed on one of your production processes - the textile printing. On the subject is discussed their field of expertise, techniques and materials. As a result, the practical development axis in this work contemplates the use of a design methodology developed for application in surface design, used in creating the final product: five prints for the brand 'LaZorayde' (already on the market), produced from the screen printing technique using photochomic pigment (eg a smart materials studied). Finally, the collection of prints intended to be subsequently applied to bags, prototypes made to better visualize the end result of surface design project carried out at the stage of practical completion of this work.
