Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical fields of chemical material preparation and environmental monitoring, and in particular relates to a method for visually detecting ultraviolet light dose using a self-repairing photochromic elastomer. Background Art

[0002] Ultraviolet (UV) light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that can be broadly categorized into three wavelengths: UVA (315-400 nm), UVB (280-315 nm), and UVC (100-280 nm). In daily life, the UV we are exposed to is primarily in the UVA band. UV light is widely used in the healthcare industry, such as for the disinfection of medical surfaces and devices, as well as in industrial manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, polymer photocuring, and laser micromachining. However, excessive exposure to UV light can be harmful to human health, including eye damage, skin damage, and immune system suppression. In particular, UV light that penetrates the skin can be absorbed by chromophores in cells (such as hemoglobin, melanin, DNA, and nucleic acids), generating free radicals or reactive oxygen species. The generated reactive oxygen species can cause oxidation of biomacromolecules in the skin, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, as well as cellular components, leading to skin inflammation, skin aging, and ultimately skin cancer. Therefore, monitoring UV light exposure dose is crucial to ensure personal safety and prevent health problems caused by UV light.

[0003] Currently, some methods for detecting UV radiation doses have been developed, mainly based on electronic solid-state devices. These devices are usually expensive, rigid and fragile, lack plasticity and elasticity, and cannot achieve visual detection, which limits their portability and actual field application. On the other hand, diarylethenes have good photochromic effects and photoreversibility in response to UV light and have been used to develop reusable UV sensors. However, the UV sensors currently developed based on diarylethenes have a single color change and lack plasticity, elasticity, and self-repairing functions. Therefore, inventing a low-cost, simple-to-prepare photochromic elastomer with excellent elasticity, plasticity, and self-repairing properties, and applying it to the visual detection of UV radiation doses has important practical significance and application prospects.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a method for applying a self-healing photochromic elastomer to the visual detection of ultraviolet light irradiation dose. The method uses a one-step photopolymerization method to prepare two self-healing photochromic elastomers. The two elastomers will show a gradient change in color from zero to dark green or bright yellow as the 365nm ultraviolet light irradiation dose increases, and the response sensitivity of the two to the ultraviolet light dose is quite different. Further utilizing their self-healing properties, the two elastomers can be combined to make a dual-color label that can be used for visual detection of ultraviolet light dose.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for applying a self-healing photochromic elastomer to visual detection of ultraviolet light irradiation dose comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step 1.1, preparation of self-healing photochromic elastomer P1: trifluoroethyl methacrylate TFEMA, hexafluorobutyl acrylate HFBA, phenyl bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (photoinitiator I-819), and photochromic diarylethene molecule DTE-3Bz are mixed and dissolved in a certain proportion, placed in a mold, and photopolymerized under 460 nm light for 3 hours to obtain self-healing photochromic elastomer P1.

[0009] Step 1.2, preparation of self-healing photochromic elastomer P2: trifluoroethyl methacrylate TFEMA, hexafluorobutyl acrylate HFBA, phenyl bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (photoinitiator I-819), and photochromic diarylethene molecule DTE-3S are mixed and dissolved in a certain proportion and placed in a mold. After one-step photopolymerization under 460 nm light for 3 hours, the self-healing photochromic elastomer P2 is obtained.

[0010] Step 1.3, prepare a dual-color label that can be used for visual detection of ultraviolet light dose: cut the self-healing photochromic elastomer P1 and the self-healing photochromic elastomer P2 according to the designed shape and combine them using the self-healing effect to make a dual-color label that can be used for visual detection of ultraviolet light dose. That is, the prepared dual-color label can be used for visual detection of ambient ultraviolet light exposure dose.

[0011] In the above step 1.1, the photochromic diarylethene molecule: ((5-benzothiophene-2,3-diyl)bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene-3,6-diyl))bis(phenyl ketone) (DTE-3Bz) has the following structural formula:

[0012]

[0013] The synthesis steps are:

[0014]

[0015] Benzoyl chloride was slowly added to a dichloromethane and aluminum chloride solution and stirred at 0°C for 1 hour under nitrogen. A dichloromethane solution of 3,3'-(thiophene-2,3-diyl)bis(2-methylbenzo[en]thiophene) prepared according to prior art was added to the solution. The mixture was removed from the ice bath and allowed to react at room temperature for 12 hours. The organic layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The organic layer was filtered and concentrated to obtain a crude product. Further column purification was performed to obtain a solid powder, DTE-3Bz. The mass ratio of 3,3'-(thiophene-2,3-diyl)bis(2-methylbenzo[en]thiophene), benzoyl chloride, aluminum chloride, and dichloromethane was 1:2-4:2-4:50-100.

[0016] In the above step 1.1, the mass ratio of TFEMA, HFBA, I-819 and DTE-3Bz is 1:1.0-3.0:0.04-0.07:0.001-0.003.

[0017] In the above step 1.2, the photochromic diarylethene molecule DTE-3S has the following structural formula:

[0018]

[0019] The synthesis steps are:

[0020]

[0021] 3,3'-(Thiophene-2,3-diyl)bis(2-methylbenzo[en]thiophene) prepared according to prior art was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran and N-bromosuccinimide was added under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and then allowed to react at room temperature for 12 hours. After completion, the reaction mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous Na2S2O3 solution and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was collected, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and spun down to dryness. The intermediate product, 3,3'-(5-bromothiophene-2,3-diyl)bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene) (DTE-Br), was obtained by column chromatography. The mass ratio of 3,3'-(Thiophene-2,3-diyl)bis(2-methylbenzo[en]thiophene), N-bromosuccinimide, and tetrahydrofuran was 1:0.5 to 1:20-40.

[0022] Then, m-chloroperbenzoic acid was added to a dichloromethane solution of DTE-Br. After stirring at room temperature for 12 hours, a saturated aqueous Na2CO3 solution was added to adjust the pH to a weak base. The reaction mixture was extracted with petroleum ether, and the organic phase was collected, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and purified by column chromatography to obtain the solid product DTE-3S. The mass ratio of DTE-Br, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, dichloromethane, and saturated aqueous Na2CO3 was 1:3-6:10-30:20-50.

[0023] In the above step 1.2, the mass ratio of TFEMA, HFBA, I-819 and DTE-3S is 1:1.0-3.0:0.04-0.07:0.001-0.003.

[0024] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0025] (1) The two new photochromic diarylethenes synthesized in the present invention exhibit gradient color changes from colorless to dark green (DTE-3Bz) and from colorless to bright yellow (DTE-3S) under 365nm ultraviolet light irradiation, respectively. They have good photoreversibility and can be reused multiple times. In addition, the two have significant differences in their response sensitivity to ultraviolet light dose.

[0026] (2) The self-healing photochromic elastomer prepared in the present invention has excellent elasticity, plasticity and self-healing properties. Its self-healing properties can be combined to prepare a dual-color label that can be used for visual detection of ultraviolet light dose, which is conducive to adapting to different practical application scenarios.

[0027] (3) The preparation method of the self-healing photochromic elastomer produced by the present invention is simple and rapid, and does not require the addition of solvents or post-processing, which has great advantages in scale-up synthesis and actual production applications.

[0047]

[0048] Synthesis of 3,3'-(5-bromothiophene-2,3-diyl)bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene) (DTE-Br): 3,3'-(thiophene-2,3-diyl)bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene) (DTE, 0.37 g) prepared with reference to the prior art was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 g). N-bromosuccinimide (0.26 g) was added under ice-cooling. After stirring for 10 minutes, the mixture was allowed to react at room temperature for 12 hours.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] The preparation steps of self-healing photochromic elastomers P1 and P2 are as follows:

[0052] (1) 5.04 g of trifluoroethyl methacrylate, 10.62 g of hexafluorobutyl acrylate, 0.31 g of photoinitiator, and 0.015 g of DTE-3Bz were mixed and ultrasonicated for 15 min. After injection, the mixture was placed in a sealed reaction cell consisting of glass plates with a spacing of 1 mm. The mixture was polymerized under visible light (460 nm, 40 mW / min) for 3 hours to obtain a photochromic elastomer P1.

[0053] (2) 5.04 g of trifluoroethyl methacrylate, 10.62 g of hexafluorobutyl acrylate, 0.31 g of a photoinitiator, and 0.015 g of DTE-3S were mixed and sonicated for 15 min. After injection, the mixture was placed in a sealed reaction cell consisting of glass plates spaced 1 mm apart. Polymerization was performed under visible light (460 nm, 40 mW / min) for 3 hours to obtain elastomer P2.

[0054] Example 3: Testing the UV-visible absorption spectra of the two prepared photochromic elastomers P1 and P2 under different external light conditions

[0055] Figure 1 This is the H NMR spectrum of the photochromic diarylethene molecule DTE-3Bz prepared in Example 1 (1). Figure 2 This is the hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the photochromic diarylethene molecule DTE-3S prepared in Example 1(2). Figure 3 The UV-visible absorption spectrum of the polymer capable of detecting UV light dose prepared in Example 2(1) in the range of 300 nm to 800 nm. Figure 4 The UV-visible absorption spectrum of the polymer prepared in Example 2(2) with detectable UV dose in the range of 300 nm to 700 nm. Figure 3 It can be seen from the figure that the characteristic absorption peak of DTE-3Bz appears at 638 nm under the irradiation of 365 nm UV light. Figure 4 As can be seen in the figure, polymer P2 exhibits the characteristic absorption peak of DTE-3S at 480 nm under 365 nm UV light. Under 525 nm visible light, the characteristic peaks of P1 and P2 disappear, exhibiting a distinct color change before and after irradiation. These results demonstrate that both P1 and P2 elastomers exhibit excellent photochromic behavior and a clear response to UV light.

[0056] Example 4: Schematic diagram of the fitting curve of the self-healing photochromic polymer under fixed irradiation intensity

[0057] In the UV detection experiment under fixed light intensity, the LED UV light source was fixed at a fixed position (80W), and the UV radiation energy and irradiance were measured by a UV detector (LS125-UVA-X1 sunlight probe). The UV sensor P1 and P2 prepared in Example 2 were used for the measurement. The absorption values ​​at 638 nm and 480 nm of the UV sensor increased significantly, and the detection limits were 11.84 J / m 2 and 104.89 J / m 2 .according to Figure 3 The relationship between the change of the characteristic absorption peak at 638 nm and the change of the ultraviolet dose can be fitted to make a relatively ideal function curve and the function graph corresponding to the curve: y = a + b × x, a = 0.06494, b = 6.67 × 10 -4 , R 2 =0.9678, see Figure 5 .according to Figure 4 The relationship between the change value of the characteristic absorption peak at 480 nm and the change of the ultraviolet dose can be fitted to make a relatively ideal function curve and the function graph corresponding to the curve: y = a + b × x, a = 0.10207, b = 5.86 × 10 -5 , R 2 =0.9651, see Figure 6 The test results show that the above polymers P1 and P2 have a good linear relationship with the ultraviolet radiation dose within a certain range, indicating that these two polymers can be used to detect ultraviolet radiation dose.

[0058] Example 5: Demonstration of the effect of UV sensor color change with UV dose change

[0059] Take the self-repairing photochromic polymers P1 and P2 prepared in Example 2 and conduct a photo experiment within the response range. Figure 7 As shown, under fixed light intensity (200W / m 2 ) and irradiated with 365 nm UV light, P1 gradually changed from transparent and colorless to dark green (0-1000 J / m 2 ), P2 gradually changes from transparent and colorless to bright yellow (0-6000J / m 2 ), and the color change is visible to the naked eye. This visible color change of ultraviolet light in the corresponding range makes it possible to achieve visual detection of ultraviolet light dose.

[0060] Example 6: Polymer tensile test experiment and effect demonstration

[0061] Taking the self-repairing photochromic polymer P2 prepared in Example 2 as an example, tensile tests were performed on them before cutting and after cutting and self-repairing (50°C) for 12 hours. Figure 8As shown in a, the stress deformation before cutting can reach 600%, and the self-healing membrane can reach 480%, with a self-healing efficiency of up to 80%. Figure 8 As shown in Figure b, after cutting, the polymer film can automatically heal at 50°C without any surface damage and still maintains good stability. These results are sufficient to demonstrate that our polymer has good elasticity and self-healing ability.

[0062] Example 7: Self-healing photochromic polymers are used to construct UV sensor tags for packaging.

[0063] By combining P1 and P2 of Example 2 through self-repair, an application display with a "sun" pattern is obtained, which is used as a UV sensor label in packaging. Figure 9 As shown here, a label capable of detecting UV light leakage is shown: the light spot part of the "sun" is composed of P1, and the spherical part of the "sun" is composed of P2. At 50°C, they are combined into the label shape of the "sun" by self-healing behavior, and the label is attached to the inside of a homemade box. When 365nm ultraviolet light does not leak into the box, the "sun" label will not change any color (1h). When the box is opened to allow 365nm ultraviolet radiation to leak in, the sensitive ultraviolet light is received by the "sun", and P1 will first sense this change and quickly turn green. Secondly, when the ultraviolet light dose is too high, P2 will gradually change color until it becomes bright yellow. The label is sensitive to ultraviolet radiation within a wide range and can change color quickly, making it suitable for protecting materials and equipment that are sensitive to ultraviolet light. See the results. Figure 9 The measurement results show that the self-repairing UV tag has a visual color change in response to different UV light doses, which indicates that the sensor has the ability to visually detect UV light doses.
