Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermochromic sensing materials, and particularly relates to a reversible thermochromic polydiacetylene material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in medium and high temperature overheat monitoring. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of electrification and intelligence, overheating problems often occur in power devices, production lines, and intelligent equipment, which may lead to various accidents. To address these problems, various temperature sensing devices or technical solutions have been developed and put into use. Among them, infrared imagers and various online electronic sensors are widely used for daily monitoring. However, most of these devices require complex experimental setups, continuous power supply, and high maintenance costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop sensitive and energy-saving temperature monitoring solutions to meet the monitoring requirements in unattended or harsh environments. Thermochromic materials are a class of materials that can respond to temperature changes and change their own colors accordingly, providing a portable and intuitive way of temperature monitoring. Among them, polydiacetylene has attracted wide attention in the field of temperature monitoring due to its unique optical properties with a π-conjugated backbone structure.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN 117085603A provides a method for real-time monitoring of the failure of a kinematic pair. In this method, high-temperature irreversible thermochromic microcapsules are arranged on the surface of the kinematic pair. When the surface temperature of the kinematic pair changes to the color-changing temperature of the high-temperature irreversible thermochromic microcapsules, the high-temperature irreversible thermochromic microcapsules change color to realize real-time monitoring of whether the kinematic pair fails. Chinese Patent CN 112326058A discloses a system and method capable of sensing temperature. The method includes four temperature-changing layers, and when the temperature reaches or exceeds a preset temperature, the four color-changing layers change color to remind the user. The temperature-sensing wire is connected to a temperature controller to monitor the temperature of the wire in real time. When the temperature of the wire exceeds the preset safe range, the temperature controller reminds the user. The system designed by this invention solves the problem that the temperature rise of the wire cannot be detected and is easy to be mass-produced in industry. However, the color of the irreversible thermochromic material cannot be restored when the environmental temperature decreases, and this characteristic makes it impossible to be reused in the temperature monitoring of electrical appliances or equipment, thus increasing the cost.

[0004] In contrast, reversible thermochromic materials not only have simple operations but also can maintain stable color-changing performance in multiple cycles, significantly reducing production and use costs, improving the use efficiency, and showing obvious application advantages. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop polydiacetylene materials with reversible thermochromic properties. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Step b), using the bis-10,12-pentacosadiynamide compound as a monomer and irradiating it with an ultraviolet lamp to polymerize to obtain the reversible thermochromic polydiacetylene material.

[0016] Furthermore, the condensing reagent is one of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC), diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC); the molar ratio of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid to the condensing reagent is 1:1.5 - 3.

[0017] Furthermore, the amine compound is selected from compounds with the following structures:

[0018]

[0019] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the amine compound to 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid is 1:2 - 2.5.

Detailed implementation mode

[0037] The reversible thermochromic polydiacetylene materials of the present invention will be further described below through specific examples and drawings. However, these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of the present invention, rather than limiting the claims of the invention.

[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0039] For those not specified in the examples, they are carried out under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. For reagents or instruments not specified by the manufacturer, they are all conventional products that can be obtained through commercial purchase.

[0040] As used herein, the term "about" is used to provide flexibility and imprecision associated with a given term, measurement, or value. One of ordinary skill in the art can readily determine the degree of flexibility for a particular variable.

[0041] As used herein, the term "at least one of..." is intended to be synonymous with "one or more of...". For example, "at least one of A, B, and C" clearly includes only A, only B, only C, and their respective combinations.

[0042] Concentrations, amounts, and other numerical data may be presented herein in a range format. It should be understood that such range formats are used merely for convenience and brevity and should be interpreted flexibly as including not only the numerical values explicitly recited as the limits of the range, but also all individual numerical values or sub-ranges subsumed within the stated range as if each numerical value and sub-range were explicitly recited. For example, a numerical range of about 1 to about 4.5 should be interpreted as including not only the explicitly recited limit values of 1 to about 4.5, but also the individual numbers (such as 2, 3, 4) and sub-ranges (such as 1 to 3, 2 to 4, etc.). The same principle applies to ranges that recite only one numerical value, such as "less than about 4.5", which should be interpreted as including all of the above values and ranges. In addition, this interpretation should apply regardless of the breadth of the range or feature described.

Then, add 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (1.68 g, 10.8 mmol) and dichloromethane (180 ml) into the flask through a syringe, and then add 4,4'-diaminobiphenyl (0.61 g, 3.3 mmol). Stir the reaction mixture at room temperature for 24 hours and monitor the reaction progress by thin-layer chromatography. After the reaction is completed, remove the solvent under reduced pressure, and then extract with dichloromethane and brine.
