Abstract:
In an example, a pressure indicator film includes a first polymeric film material and a second polymeric film material that satisfy a threshold thermal degradation temperature. The pressure indicator film includes microcapsules on a surface of the first polymeric film material and a developer material on a surface of the second polymeric film material. The microcapsules are formed from a polymeric shell material that satisfies the threshold thermal degradation temperature. The microcapsules encapsulate a payload that includes a pH indicator and a solvent having a boiling point that is greater than the threshold thermal degradation temperature.
