New fluorinated benzenesulfonate diacetylene compositions are described which are useful in time-temperature devices for monitoring the shelf-lives of perishable articles. The compositions are solid-state polymerizable by thermal annealing or exposure to actinic or high energy ionizing radiation. Some of the compositions, in addition, exhibit relatively longer polymerization induction periods, compared to other known diacetylene compositons, and an "autocatalytic" effect upon polymerization during which a rapid color change occurs. These characteristics are extremely useful in monitoring situations which require a striking color change as an indication that a particular time-temperature history profile, e.g. shelf-life, has expired.

乙炔组合物,这种组合物可用于监测易腐物品保质期的时间-温度装置。通过热退火或暴露于光辐射或高能电离辐射,这些组合物可固态聚合。此外,与其他已知的二
乙炔组合物相比,其中一些组合物的聚合诱导期相对较长,聚合时具有 "自催化 "效应,在此期间会发生快速的颜色变化。这些特性在监测需要明显颜色变化来表明特定时间-温度历史曲线(如保质期)已过期的情况时非常有用。
