Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional materials technology, and relates to the structural composition and preparation method of a type of polymer with [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of materials science, functionalized materials are increasingly widely used in optoelectronic devices, smart sensing, biomedicine, and other fields. Among them, functional materials based on the [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction have become a research hotspot due to their unique dynamic responsiveness and structural designability. The [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction refers to the process in which two olefin units undergo a cycloaddition reaction under photoexcitation to form a cyclobutane structure. This reaction has the characteristics of mild conditions, high selectivity, and strong reversibility, providing an important pathway for the development of novel photoresponsive materials.
[0003] Traditional photoresponsive materials mainly rely on mechanisms such as photoisomerization, photochromism, or photofragmentation, but these mechanisms often suffer from slow response speed, poor reversibility, and short fatigue life. In contrast, the [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction has significant advantages: First, the reaction can be carried out at room temperature or low temperature, avoiding material degradation caused by high temperature; second, by rationally designing the molecular structure, the reaction wavelength and efficiency can be precisely controlled; in addition, the reversibility of the [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction endows the material with dynamic response characteristics, enabling intelligent regulation of its performance under external stimuli.
[0004] Currently, research on materials based on [2+2] photocycloaddition reactions mainly focuses on the following aspects: (1) developing efficient photosensitive groups to improve the photoresponse performance of materials; (2) constructing multifunctional molecular systems to achieve multiple response characteristics of materials; and (3) exploring novel assembly strategies to prepare materials with specific structures. However, existing technologies still face some challenges, such as insufficient stability of photosensitive groups, lack of universality in molecular design, and unclear material performance regulation mechanisms. Therefore, developing novel [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction systems and constructing high-performance functional materials has significant scientific importance and application prospects.
[0005] This patent aims to provide a new type of functional material based on the [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction. This material has the characteristics of controllable structure, excellent performance and wide application, which can meet the urgent needs of optoelectronic devices, intelligent sensing, biomedicine and other fields for high-performance functional materials.
