Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional polymer materials technology, specifically relating to a boron-containing solid-liquid dual-state fluorescent polymer material with solvent polarity responsiveness. This material exhibits fluorescence properties in both solid and solution states and can be used for chemical sensing and environmental detection. Background Technology
[0002] Stimulus-responsive materials are a class of functional molecules or polymers that can generate response signals to changes in the external environment. Their responses can manifest as changes in optical properties, electronic characteristics, or mechanical properties. Among these, fluorescent materials that respond to chemical environments (such as pH, solvents, and ions) have attracted considerable attention due to their significant application potential in fields such as chemical sensing, environmental monitoring, and biological probes. Currently, although there are numerous reports on fluorescent materials that respond to single stimuli (such as acids and bases), research on material systems exhibiting sensitive and reversible fluorescence responses to the key physicochemical parameter of solvent polarity remains relatively limited. In particular, smart materials that can emit light efficiently in both solid and solution states, and whose fluorescence wavelengths exhibit a continuous and significant redshift with solvent polarity, have become a worthy research direction for further exploration in this field due to their irreplaceable advantages in recognition and detection, and microenvironment probes.
