[0002] A photochromic polymer film is a functional material that can undergo reversible color changes under light irradiation. Its research background mainly stems from the exploration of light-responsive materials in the mid-20th century. As an intelligent responsive material, the development of photochromic polymer films can be traced back to the cross-integration of photochemistry and polymer science in the mid-20th century. Early research mainly focused on inorganic photochromic systems. It wasn't until the 1960s that with the discovery of organic photochromic molecules (such as spiropyrans, azobenzenes, etc.) and the elucidation of their photoisomerization mechanisms, researchers began to attempt to introduce these functional molecules into polymer matrices. By compounding photochromic units such as spiropyrans and diarylethene with polymer materials such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyurethane (PU), an intelligent thin film system with flexibility and processability was successfully developed.
[0003] However, in the prior art, the patterning processing accuracy of the polymer film is insufficient and the compatibility with the substrate is insufficient. Based on this, it is necessary to develop a new photochromic polymer compound to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Example 1

[0038]
[0039] The preparation of the photochromic polymer compound includes the following steps:
[0040] (1) Dissolve N-methyl-4-piperidone (1 g, 8.8 mmol), 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone (0.27 g, 1.55 mmol) and terphenyl (2.4 g, 10.35 mmol) in dichloromethane, react for 24 h in an ice-water bath, and a white solid precipitates. After filtering the precipitated solid, wash it thoroughly with 1 mol / L potassium carbonate solution (50 mL) by stirring at 50 °C for 12 h, then filter and dry to obtain
[0041] (2) Dissolve 1-pyrenemethanol (2.32 g, 10 mmol) and sodium hydride (4.8 g, 200 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (100 mL), react for 30 min under a nitrogen atmosphere, then add 1,4-dibromobutane (21.6 g, 100 mmol), and react at room temperature for 48 h. After the reaction is completed, slowly dropwise add distilled water to quench the reaction, then extract three times with dichloromethane (100 mL), collect the organic phase, and wash it with 5 wt% dilute hydrochloric acid, 10 wt% sodium carbonate solution and distilled water respectively. The obtained organic phase is dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo to remove the solvent, and then separated and purified by column chromatography (eluent VPE:VDCM = 1:1) to obtain
[0042] (3) Dissolve (1.2 g) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (5 mL) to obtain a solution, dissolve (0.4 g) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (5 mL) to obtain a solution, and at 80 °C, The solution was added to the solution and reacted for 24 h.

[0043]
[0044] Example 2
[0045] The photochromic thin film material was prepared by the following method:
[0046] The photochromic polymer compound prepared in Example 1 was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to prepare a uniform solution with a concentration of 20 mg / mL. After spreading this solution on a glass plate, it was allowed to naturally evaporate under hot conditions at 100 °C to form a transparent self-supporting film, namely the photochromic thin film material.
[0047] The photochromic thin film material exhibited excellent light transmission performance in the initial state, being colorless and transparent under a fluorescent lamp, while being blue-green under irradiation with an ultraviolet lamp (365 nm), as shown in Figure 1 shown.
[0048] High-precision light writing performance of the photochromic thin film material: Using a standard QR code pattern as a mask template, after physically masking a partial area on the surface of the photochromic thin film material with the mask template, it was irradiated directionally with a 365 nm ultraviolet light source for 3 minutes, as shown in Figure 2 shown. It can be seen from Figure 2 that an identifiable QR code pattern was successfully formed on the surface of the irradiated photochromic thin film material, and the colored area formed a sharp contrast with the masked area. Testing the photochromic QR code with an ordinary smartphone scanner showed good scanning recognition under ultraviolet light illumination conditions. It is particularly noteworthy that the obtained QR code pattern could be stably maintained for more than 48 hours at room temperature in the dark. This experimental result fully demonstrates that the photochromic thin film material of the present invention has excellent light writing performance and can meet the strict requirements for material resolution and stability in high-value application scenarios such as dynamic information storage and erasable anti-counterfeiting labels.
[0049] Example 3
[0050] The photochromic polymer compound has the following structure:
[0051]
[0052] The preparation of the photochromic polymer compound includes the following steps:
[0053] (1) N-Methyl-4-piperidone (1 g, 8.8 mmol), 2,2,2-Trifluoroacetophenone (1 g, 5.9 mmol) and terphenyl 3.4 g, 14.7 mmol) were dissolved in dichloromethane. After reacting for 24 h in an ice-water bath, a white solid precipitated. After filtering the precipitated solid, it was washed thoroughly by stirring with 1 mol / L potassium carbonate solution (50 mL) at 50 °C for 12 h, and then filtered and dried to obtain
[0054] (2) 1-Pyrenemethanol (2.32 g, 10 mmol) and sodium hydride (4.8 g, 200 mmol) were dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (100 mL). After reacting for 30 min under a nitrogen atmosphere, 1,8-dibromooctane (27.2 g, 100 mmol) was added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 48 h. After the reaction was completed, distilled water was slowly added dropwise to quench the reaction, and then it was extracted three times with dichloromethane (100 mL). After collecting the organic phase, it was washed with 5 wt% dilute hydrochloric acid, 10 wt% sodium carbonate solution, and distilled water respectively. The obtained organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo to remove the solvent, and then separated and purified by column chromatography (eluent VPE:VDCM = 1:1) to obtain
[0055] (3) (2 g) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (5 mL) to obtain a solution. (0.6 g) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (5 mL) to obtain a solution. At 120 °C, the solution was added to the solution and reacted for 72 h. After the reaction was completed, the temperature was lowered to room temperature, and diethyl ether was added to precipitate the product. After filtering, it was washed with diethyl ether and dried to obtain
[0056]
[0057] Example 4
[0058] A photochromic thin film material was prepared by the following method:
[0059] The photochromic polymer compound prepared in Example 3 was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to prepare a homogeneous solution with a concentration of 20 mg / mL. After spreading this solution on a glass plate, the solution was naturally volatilized under heating conditions at 100 °C to form a transparent self-supporting film, namely the photochromic thin film material.
[0060] The photochromic thin film material exhibits excellent light transmittance performance in the initial state, is colorless and transparent under a fluorescent lamp, and is blue-green under irradiation with an ultraviolet lamp (365 nm).
[0061] Patterning treatment of the photochromic thin film material: After physically masking a partial area on the surface of the photochromic thin film material using a mask plate, a 365 nm ultraviolet light source is used for 3 minutes of directional irradiation. After irradiation, an obvious patterning contrast effect appears on the surface of the photochromic thin film material: The area directly irradiated by ultraviolet light (the area not physically masked by the mask plate) undergoes a significant color change reaction and turns yellow-green, while the masked protection area remains in the initial blue-green state after ultraviolet light irradiation. The result is as Figure 3 shown.
[0062] High-precision photo-writing performance of the photochromic thin film material: Using a standard QR code pattern as a mask template, after physically masking a partial area on the surface of the photochromic thin film material using the mask template, a 365 nm ultraviolet light source is used for 3 minutes of directional irradiation. The result is as Figure 4 shown. From Figure 4 it can be seen that a recognizable QR code pattern has been successfully formed on the surface of the photochromic thin film material after light irradiation, and its color-developing area forms a sharp contrast with the masked area. The photochromic QR code is tested using an ordinary smartphone scanner, and it has good scanning recognition under ultraviolet light irradiation conditions. It is particularly worth noting that the obtained QR code pattern can be stably maintained for more than 48 hours under room temperature and dark conditions, having excellent environmental stability. This experimental result fully demonstrates that the photochromic thin film material of the present invention has excellent photo-writing performance and can meet the strict requirements of high-value application scenarios such as dynamic information storage and erasable anti-counterfeiting labels for material resolution and stability.
