Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of functional fibers, and specifically, develops a fluorescent polymer with good compatibility as a dye to prepare fluorescent fibers. Background Art

[0002] Fluorescent fiber is a kind of anti-counterfeiting fiber that has been studied a lot. It can be combined with trademarks, labels or packaging materials by weaving, bonding, embroidery, etc. It can be combined with books and certificates by binding thread, or it can be added to pulp in the form of short fibers to prepare anti-counterfeiting paper. Therefore, fluorescent fiber has a wide range of applications in luminous textiles, military, bioengineering and medical products. Fluorescent fiber is limited by the preparation method and is not common in the fiber market. Among the fiber preparation methods, the melt spinning method is simple and the process technology is mature, which can achieve large-scale continuous production, but it is still difficult to apply it to the production of fluorescent fibers. Commonly used fluorescent dyes are mainly rare earth inorganic phosphors, which have poor compatibility with the polymer matrix of the fiber and uneven distribution, making spinning difficult, easy to fly and break, and the mechanical properties of the fiber are reduced, and the optical properties have poor environmental resistance. Therefore, the development of fluorescent polymers with good compatibility with the resin matrix as dyes can solve the problems of uneven dispersion of fluorescent dyes and poor spinnability of fluorescent fibers from the source, thereby realizing the large-scale preparation of fluorescent fibers. Under the background of the “dual carbon” goals, preparing fluorescent polymer dyes using renewable natural extracts as raw materials is of great significance to alleviating resource shortages and environmental pollution.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Preparation of polymer dyes:

[0027] In a Schlenk tube filled with CsCO3 (3.3mmmol, 3equiv), curcumin (1.1mmol, 1equiv) and 1,3-di(bromomethyl)benzene (2.2mmol, 2equiv) were added and dissolved in THF (5mL). The mixed solution was placed in air at 70°C and slowly stirred for 24h. After 24h, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature. Then, the CsCO3 in the reaction solution was filtered to obtain a mixed solution, and the mixed solution was concentrated to 2mL under reduced pressure. The product was precipitated in excess petroleum ether, filtered and vacuum dried to obtain a yellow solid powder of curcumin polymer.

[0028] The fluorescence spectra of the prepared curcumin polymer in mixed solutions with different water contents were measured. The product showed aggregation-induced emission effect in mixed solutions of THF / water with different volume ratios, see Appendix Figure 2 .Depend on Figure 2It can be seen that in the mixed solutions of different THF / water volume ratios, as the content of the poor solvent (water) increases, the curcumin polymer gradually precipitates to form nano-aggregates. As the degree of aggregation increases, the intensity of the fluorescence emission curve gradually increases, showing an obvious aggregation-induced emission effect.
