The target of this present work is, using natural hollow fiber named Kapok fiber and functional materials, to obtain color changeable sheets which have potential to be used as rewritable and electronic paper in simple preparation and with low cost. We will introduce three types of kapok fibers containing chromic materials such as thermochromic, solvatochromic and piezochromic materials.
