Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coatings and coating preparation, specifically to a dual-sensitive polymer-based coating and coating based on temperature-sensitive photoluminescent microparticles of polymer-encapsulated aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules and oxygen concentration-sensitive photoluminescent molecules, as well as their preparation and application. Background Technology
[0002] Oxygen concentration / pressure sensitive coatings are a non-contact, large-area optical testing technology that forms a coating on a substrate surface and measures pressure. The principle is based on the dissipation of excited-state fluorescent molecule energy by oxygen molecules, leading to fluorescence quenching, and thus the pressure change is calculated from the oxygen concentration. Compared to traditional point measurement techniques, it offers advantages such as high spatial resolution, large data acquisition, and the ability to capture pressure peaks, making it widely used in aerodynamics. Commonly used oxygen-sensitive probes include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as pyrene and its derivatives, and metal complexes such as ruthenium, platinum, and palladium. Pyrene and its derivatives are prone to migration and sublimation in coatings, resulting in poor coating stability. While platinum and palladium metal porphyrin complexes offer high oxygen sensitivity and large Stokes shifts, their long fluorescence lifetimes make it difficult to achieve faster response times. Compared to these two types of oxygen-sensitive probes, ruthenium complexes possess a larger Stokes shift, stronger photobleaching resistance, and higher oxygen sensitivity, along with a shorter fluorescence lifetime and faster coating response, giving them unique advantages in unsteady flow field pressure measurement. However, since ruthenium complexes also exhibit temperature responsiveness, temperature correction is required for oxygen concentration / pressure measurements. Currently, reference probes used for temperature correction mainly include thermosensitive phosphors, small-molecule fluoresceins, and carbon quantum dots. However, these probes still suffer from problems such as low temperature sensitivity, slow response speed, and poor reversibility. Therefore, there are currently no mature oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature-sensitive coatings or coatings based on ruthenium complexes that have been widely applied.
[0003] Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules are a new type of fluorescent molecule developed in recent years. They have a wide range of wavelength selectivity and have attracted widespread attention in the fields of biomedicine and chemical sensing. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a polymer-based coating with dual sensitivity to oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature, consisting of temperature-sensitive photoluminescent microparticles and oxygen concentration-sensitive photoluminescent molecules loaded with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules, as well as a coating preparation method and application.
[0005] This invention encapsulates AIE molecules with a polymer to obtain temperature-sensitive photoluminescent nanoparticles with diameters ranging from nanometers to submicrometers. A coating formed from these particles, along with an oxygen concentration / pressure-sensitive photoluminescent ruthenium complex and a polymer matrix, creates a dual-sensitivity coating for both oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature. This coating enables simultaneous measurement of oxygen concentration and / or pressure and temperature, correcting for temperature effects during pressure measurements. By controlling the crystallization behavior of AIE molecules through a polymer network, reversible temperature responsiveness is achieved, resulting in a dual-probe oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature-sensitive coating capable of multiple repeatable measurements.
[0006] The photoluminescent coating provided by this invention, which is dually sensitive to oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature, comprises temperature-sensitive photoluminescent microparticles and oxygen concentration / pressure-sensitive photoluminescent molecules encapsulated with polymer-encapsulated aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules.

[0044] Photoluminescent coatings that are sensitive to both oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature, as described above, are also within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0045] In the photoluminescent coating that is both oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature sensitive, the mass ratio of the temperature-sensitive photoluminescent microparticles to the oxygen concentration / pressure-sensitive photoluminescent molecules (ruthenium metal complex) can be 4:1 to 20:1; the mass of both accounts for 1% to 10% of the total mass of the coating (the total mass of the coating after solvent evaporation and curing includes the mass of the temperature-sensitive photoluminescent microparticles, the oxygen concentration / pressure-sensitive photoluminescent molecules (oxygen-sensitive probes), fillers, and oxygen-permeable polymer matrix; here it refers to the mass of the temperature-sensitive photoluminescent microparticles, the oxygen concentration / pressure-sensitive photoluminescent molecules, and their percentage of the final coating mass);
[0046] The oxygen-permeable polymer matrix accounts for 30% to 80% of the total mass of the coating;
[0047] The filler content is the remaining mass of the coating.
[0048] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned photoluminescent coating that is sensitive to both oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature.
[0049] The method for preparing photoluminescent oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature-sensitive coatings and coating layers provided by this invention includes the following steps:

[0060] The detection is a non-contact optical curve or two-dimensional image detection.
[0061] The dual-probe photoluminescent polymer coating of the present invention has stable performance and can be reused for a long time.
[0062] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0064] 2. The preparation method of polymer-encapsulated aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules is simple and efficient, with uniform particle size distribution that can be adjusted within a certain range.
[0065] 3. The oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature dual-sensitive coating achieves a porous structure and faster response speed by employing an oxygen-permeable polymer matrix and adding fillers. Experimental results show that the coating can achieve a microsecond-level response speed due to the addition of fillers.

The dual-sensitivity photoluminescent coating is prepared using various methods. This coating can be used alone as an oxygen concentration / pressure-sensitive or temperature-sensitive coating, or as a dual-sensitivity coating for both oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature, enabling temperature correction during oxygen concentration / pressure measurement and simultaneous measurement of temperature and oxygen concentration / pressure.

The obtained two-dimensional images under different pressure and temperature conditions were processed by channel segmentation, with the green channel being the temperature-sensitive channel and the red channel the pressure-sensitive channel. The average light intensity at the center of the sample (10 x 10 pixels) was taken as the light intensity under the set temperature and pressure conditions, obtaining the static calibration pressure and temperature results of the coating.

[0113] The sample was used as a dual-sensor coating to test the surface temperature and pressure distribution under high-temperature jet conditions. The coating was excited by a 365nm LED light source and photographed by a color CCD camera. The changes in the dual-channel light intensity of the coating under alternating cold and hot jet conditions were obtained, and the surface pressure and temperature distribution of the model were then obtained based on static calibration. Figure 7 ).

[0115] 20 mg of 10-(4-nitrophenyl)-10-hydro-phenoxazine dye and 600 mg of polyacrylonitrile were dissolved in 30 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (dye to polymer mass ratio 1:30). 120 mL of water was added dropwise to the solution while stirring continuously. The suspension was centrifuged and washed with water multiple times before being freeze-dried to obtain nanoparticles coated with the AIE probe. The diameter of the nanoparticles was measured to be approximately 200 nm using a Malvern laser particle size analyzer.

[0117] 1 mg of [Ru(dpp)3]Cl2 was dissolved in 3 mL of a mixed solvent of dichloromethane and toluene. 4 mg of AIE-NP, 80 mg of silica nanoparticles with a particle size of 1 μm and 40 mg of room temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber (RTV) were added. The mixture was then sprayed onto a glass substrate using a spray gun and cured at room temperature for 24 h to obtain a dual-probe oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature-sensitive coating.
[0118] The prepared coating was fixed in a shock tube and irradiated with 455 nm blue excitation light (50 W) through a 12 cm diameter glass window. The sample was located in the low-pressure section. Gas was extracted from the shock tube using a vacuum pump to bring the low-pressure section to a pressure of 50 kPa. A plastic diaphragm isolated the low-pressure section from the high-pressure section. An air pump slowly pressurized the high-pressure section. When the pressure reached 0.378 MPa, the diaphragm ruptured, and high-pressure air rapidly entered the low-pressure section. When the airflow reached the first sensor, the oxygen partial pressure immediately increased. This pressure change generated a dynamic electrical signal, triggering a CCD camera to take a picture. The sample coating was located at the third sensor. The time it took for the airflow to reach the coating was determined based on the signal response of the third sensor. Combined with the image taken by the CCD camera, the change in fluorescence intensity of the sample coating was observed, indicating the coating's response time to the oxygen partial pressure change was approximately 50 μs. Figure 8 ).
[0119] By varying the pressures in different high and low pressure sections and selecting different diaphragms to obtain varying rupture pressures, the coating is placed in the low-pressure section glass window. The shock wave velocity under different flow field conditions is measured by utilizing the pressure change of the coating after the shock wave sweeps through it. Two-dimensional images reveal the influence of the boundary layer interference between the shock wave and the shock tube wall. Furthermore, changes in coating light intensity allow for the measurement of pressure and duration in different regions before and after the shock wave. Figure 9 ).

The mixture was then sprayed onto a glass substrate using a spray gun and cured at room temperature for 24 h to obtain a dual-probe oxygen concentration / pressure and temperature-sensitive coating.
[0128] The sample was fixed on the test bench, and pressure and temperature changes under long-term variable gas jet conditions were measured. A 365nm LED light source was used for continuous excitation, and a time-scanning two-dimensional image of the coating's light intensity was continuously captured by a color CCD camera. Gas switching was controlled by a three-way valve, and the gas flow rate was adjusted by a rotor flow meter. The acquired images were processed by channel, and finally, the changes in pressure and temperature on the coating surface were calculated through fitting relationships. Before the above tests, the stability of the coating under continuous excitation conditions must be tested first, and the light intensity attenuation caused by continuous excitation light must be eliminated during data processing.

[0134] Sample 1 and Sample 2 were placed on a heating stage, and the temperature distribution of the samples under non-uniform heating conditions was measured. The measuring equipment used was a fluorescence spectrometer, and the temperature control was achieved using a matching high-temperature sample stage. One side of each sample box was fixed to the temperature control stage. Excitation was performed using 365nm blue light, and the light intensity change was obtained through spectral integration from 450nm to 500nm. The initial temperature was 20℃, and the temperature ramp rate was set. Measurements were taken at 20℃ intervals. After heating to 120℃, the temperature was set to decrease, and measurements were taken again at 20℃ intervals. The final temperature distribution results under non-uniform heating conditions were obtained. The experimental results show that the coating prepared with uncoated TPE4N powder exhibited irreversible light intensity and temperature deviation from the set value during the heating and cooling process, while the coating with added TPE4N nanoparticles allowed for reversible temperature measurement.
