Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of the preparation of fluorescent elastomer materials, and particularly relates to an elastomer material with simultaneously enhanced mechanical properties and fluorescent properties, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Technique
[0002] Disclosing the information of this background technical part is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present invention, and is not necessarily regarded as an admission or any form of implication that this information constitutes the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0003] Fluorescent elastomers have received increasing attention and extensive research in sensors, information encryption, crack monitoring, displays, etc. due to their excellent flexibility, high stability, and specific responsiveness. Incorporating various fluorescent molecules into the elastomer matrix is a simple method for preparing fluorescent elastomers, such as introducing rare earth ions, quantum dots, or luminescent dyes into the elastomer.
[0004] However, the elastomers prepared by this physical mixing method have the problem of poor interfacial compatibility between the fluorescent molecules and the elastomer matrix, resulting in the aggregation of fluorescent molecules, uneven fluorescence intensity, and possible reduction of the mechanical strength of the material. In the prior art, the problem of interfacial compatibility of fluorescent molecules is solved by chemically grafting chromophores into the elastomer network. However, the chemical grafting method usually does not increase the mechanical properties of the material, and even weakens the mechanical properties of the elastomer, making the chemically grafted fluorescent elastomers generally have poor mechanical properties at the present stage.

[0081] (2) 2.83 g of diisocyanate HMDI and 40 μL of catalyst DBTDL were added to phase A, heated to 80 °C, and stirred for 3 h to obtain prepolymer B;
[0082] (3) 0.2326 g of IPDA and 0.8409 g of PABZ were dissolved in 40 g of DMF and added to phase B, heated to 55 °C, and stirred for 3 h. After defoaming and drying, a fluorescent elastomer was obtained.
[0083] Test Example 1 :
[0084] In this example, a universal tensile machine was used to test the mechanical properties and fluorescence properties of the elastomer materials prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-5; a fluorescence spectrometer was used to test the fluorescence properties. The specific data are shown in Tables 1-2:
[0085] Table 1
[0086]
[0087] Table 2
[0088]
[0089]
[0090] It can be seen from the test results that in Comparative Examples 1-2, only the fluorescent chain extender was added. Although the fluorescence properties of the prepared elastomer materials were improved, their mechanical properties and fluorescence properties were lower than those of the elastomer materials prepared in the examples of the present invention (as Figures 3 to 6 shown). This is because the commonly used polyurethane chain extender was used as an accompanying fragment to form a mismatched supramolecular fragment with the fluorescent fragment in the original elastomer. The mismatched supramolecule can greatly enhance the dissipation ability of the material, enhance the toughness of the material, and the accompanying fragment can hinder the aggregation of the fluorescent group and enhance the fluorescence properties of the material.
[0091] In Comparative Example 3, only the mechanical chain extender was added. The mechanical properties and fluorescence properties of the prepared elastomer material were lower than those of the elastomer materials prepared in the examples of the present invention. This is because there are four molecular configurations for the double chain extender, including a strong binding configuration and a weak binding configuration. The less stable configuration will preferentially slide under the action of stretching, resulting in energy dissipation, thereby endowing the matrix material with high extensibility and toughness.
[0092] Compared with Comparative Examples 4-5, in the examples of the present invention, by controlling the addition amounts of the fluorescent chain extender and the mechanical chain extender, the mechanical properties of the fluorescent elastomer and the fluorescence intensity under 365 nm excitation were successfully enhanced simultaneously.
[0093] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
