I am a teacher at Bountiful Junior High in Utah and need a small sample of color changing fabric as part of a lesson in advanced technology. Would your company be willing to donate a sample for me? Thank you.

barbara,
you will need to contact the original authors of this work, by following their contact details on their website.
note also that this was academic research, not a commercial product.

Thanks!
My name is Jessica Mead, a student from University of Southampton, Winchester School of Art. I am currently undertaking my final year at university, where I am concentrating on nanotechnology and therefore colour changing fabrics is of great interest to me. i have already found you website very useful and was wondering if you could provide me with small sample. Please let me know if it is possible and i forward my address to you. Thank you for your time.

Jessica,
Please forward your address and I will make sure you have enough color changing fabric for your project. It's different from above pics but sure you will be fascinated.

I recently came across your website and am very intrigued by your work. I am an MA
student, currently researching mass customisation and sustainability in fashion. I am
interested in creating a collection of t-shirts, that the user can customise according to
their own wants and needs, and am researching different ideas of how to do so. The idea
of being able to change the colour of a garment is something that I really want to do,
but am finding it hard to find out how to go about it. Any advice or recommendations you are able to offer, would be of great help. Also I was wondering if you could provide me with small sample, to help me with my research
