Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of encryption and anti-counterfeiting technology, and in particular relates to the application of a star-shaped oligomer in photochromic anti-counterfeiting. Background Technology
[0002] DASA compounds are nonlinear, including dendritic, star-shaped, and multi-branched DASA molecules. Star oligomers are macromolecules composed of several linear oligomers or arms linked together by a central structure (core). Due to their highly branched structure and unique molecular conformation, star polymers exhibit properties and functions significantly different from linear polymers. In recent years, researchers have made significant progress in controlled synthesis, precise control of arm number, and functionalization. Most star oligomers possess excellent optical properties, including high photoluminescence quantum yield in their solid-state films and very low optical loss. Furthermore, their physicochemical properties can be tuned by changing the arm length, making star oligomers highly tunable. Due to their enormous application potential in multiple disciplines, star polymers have become a research frontier in interdisciplinary fields such as materials science, chemistry, and biomedicine.
[0003] The prior art discloses a photochromic encryption system, including a carrier and an encryption information layer disposed on the carrier. The encryption information layer is formed by a combination of coating areas of four different encryption inks. However, the encryption information layer needs to be mixed and coated, the manufacturing process is complicated and difficult to industrialize, and it only reflects the color change after light exposure, and the encryption performance needs to be improved.
[0004] Therefore, applying star-shaped oligomers to photochromic anti-counterfeiting is simple to produce and achieves dual-mode anti-counterfeiting using both color and fluorescence signals, resulting in stronger encryption. This has significant research and application value. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the technical problems of complex processes and insufficient anti-counterfeiting capabilities in existing anti-counterfeiting systems, the primary objective of this invention is to provide an application of star-shaped oligomers in photochromic anti-counterfeiting, which is simple to manufacture and achieves dual-mode anti-counterfeiting using both color and fluorescence signals, resulting in stronger encryption.
[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide an anti-counterfeiting product prepared from the above-mentioned star-shaped oligomer.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention protects the application of a star-shaped oligomer in photochromic anti-counterfeiting, wherein the star-shaped oligomer has the following structural formula: ; Where n = 1, 2, 3, in, It can be any of the following: .
[0008] The inventors discovered that star-shaped oligomers can be used for photochromic anti-counterfeiting, achieving a dual-mode anti-counterfeiting approach involving both color and fluorescence signals. This stems from their bimodal fluorescence properties, which simultaneously undergo absorption and fluorescence signal changes under light stimulation. Specifically, when exposed to light of a specific wavelength, the conjugated triene in the DASA moiety transforms into a cyclic structure, resulting in a reversible photoisomerization reaction. This directly leads to a significant reduction in the absorption peak at approximately 590 nm in the visible light region, causing a macroscopically visible color fading or change in the material—the first, intuitive color-based anti-counterfeiting mode. Simultaneously, the star-shaped oligomers of this invention possess a core triphenylamine structure. This molecular configuration change profoundly affects the microenvironment of its luminescent cluster, altering its inherent bimodal fluorescence emission spectrum. This is typically manifested as a shift in the emission peak (e.g., from the orange-red region to the blue region) and an overall decrease in fluorescence intensity. This constitutes a second, more concealed and precise anti-counterfeiting mode that requires verification using tools such as ultraviolet lamps. These two modes, with their visible color changes and measurable fluorescence conversions, are both triggered by the same light source and do not interfere with each other. Together, they form a dual-mode anti-counterfeiting system that is highly information-dense, difficult to replicate, and easy to verify.
[0009] Preferably, n = 2 or 3.
[0010] Preferably, the star-shaped oligomer is any one of the following compounds: Formula 1 Formula 2 Formula 3 Formula 4 Formula 5 Formula 6 Formula 7.
[0011] Specifically, the star-shaped oligomer is prepared according to existing technology.
[0012] Preferably, the star-shaped oligomer is prepared by the following steps: Donor and acceptor molecules are mixed and dissolved in a dichloromethane / hexafluoroisopropanol mixed solvent. The mixture is then reacted in the dark and purified to obtain a star-shaped oligomer, wherein the molar ratio of donor to acceptor molecules is ≤1:3.
[0013] This invention also protects an anti-counterfeiting product prepared from the above-mentioned star-shaped oligomer.
[0014] This invention also protects a method for preparing the above-mentioned anti-counterfeiting product, comprising the following steps: S1. Dissolve the above-mentioned star-shaped oligomer and polymer in an organic solvent to obtain a mixed solution; S2. Pour the mixture into a polytetrafluoroethylene template to form an anti-counterfeiting product.
[0015] Preferably, the organic solvent in step S1 is tetrahydrofuran.
[0016] Preferably, the concentration of star-shaped oligomers in the mixed solution in step S1 is 1~5 g / L.
[0017] Preferably, the polymer in step S1 is selected from at least one of thermoplastic polyurethane, polycaprolactone, polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, SBS, and SEBS.
[0018] Preferably, the mass concentration of the polymer in the mixed solution in step S1 is 0.1~0.3 g / mL.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention discloses the application of a star-shaped oligomer in photochromic anti-counterfeiting. The star-shaped oligomer of this invention exhibits a bimodal fluorescence spectrum. Under light stimulation, the triphenylamine core structure undergoes a reversible photoisomerization reaction with the DASA photoresponse unit, leading to changes in its absorption peak in the visible light region and shifts and intensities in its fluorescence emission spectrum, thereby achieving a dual-mode response of color and fluorescence. Dissolving it in a polymer solution and casting it into a film can be used to construct anti-counterfeiting products with multiple information encryption functions. The anti-counterfeiting material provided by this invention is simple to prepare, has a rapid response, and good repeatability, making it suitable for high-security anti-counterfeiting labels and information encryption systems.

[0054]
[0055] The structure of the product is obtained from the proton NMR spectrum, such as Figure 8 .
[0056] II. Test Indicators (1) Fading rate (s): The time it takes for the star-shaped oligomer to fade from blue-purple to colorless under white light.
[0057] III. Test Results The star-shaped oligomers provided in Examples 1-7 were used to make anti-counterfeiting products according to the method in Example 8 and fluorescence experiments were conducted. Examples 1-7 all have excellent bimodal fluorescence characteristics and photochromic behavior, which can realize dual-mode anti-counterfeiting of color and fluorescence.
[0058] Example 1 (n=2, DASA-2): Its UV-Vis absorption spectrum ( Figure 1 ) and fluorescence spectrum ( Figure 2 , Figure 4 a) It is clearly shown that under light stimulation, its absorption peak near 590 nm is significantly reduced, while the fluorescence emission peak shifts and its intensity changes. For example... Figure 3 As shown, anti-counterfeiting products made with DASA-2 exhibit a bluish-purple color and fluoresce bright pink under ultraviolet light in a dark environment. Under white light, the pattern fades from bluish-purple to colorless, and the fluorescence intensity significantly decreases under ultraviolet light in a dark environment. Multiple layers of information encryption are implemented to address this, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the polymer solution was poured into a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) template with the English letter "FACT" and a PTFE template with the number "2607," respectively. After the tetrahydrofuran evaporated, the first two letters and the number were illuminated with white light as input until "FA" and "26" faded (different output signals could be obtained depending on the duration of white light illumination). Information was read using fluorescence spectroscopy. When the input information was a letter, the fluorescence peak at approximately 400-500 nm was used as the output; when the input information was a number, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the fluorescence peak at approximately 600-800 nm was used as the output. Figure 4 c. At this point, the correct information output by "FACT" is "(442, 442, 428, 428)", while the correct information output by "2607" is "(78, 78, 92, 92)".
[0059] Example 2 (n=3, DASA-3): The three-armed star structure endows the molecule with a higher density of functional groups and a stronger fluorescence signal. It also exhibits a distinct bimodal fluorescence response; changes in the position and intensity of the two fluorescence emission peaks were observed before and after illumination, ensuring its reliable application in a dual-mode anti-counterfeiting system.
[0060] Example 3 (n=1, DASA-1): It also produced bimodal fluorescence behavior, which can achieve dual changes in color and fluorescence, meeting the basic dual-mode anti-counterfeiting requirements.
[0061] The star-shaped oligomers prepared in Examples 4, 5, and 6 all exhibit significant bimodal fluorescence characteristics. Under light stimulation, the star-shaped oligomers of Examples 4, 5, and 6 not only undergo a visible color change (fading from blue-violet to colorless), but also show two distinct emission peaks in their fluorescence emission spectra, each corresponding to a different fluorescence signal. This bimodal fluorescence behavior enables these materials to simultaneously achieve dual-mode responses in both color and fluorescence, making them suitable for multi-layered information encryption designs.
[0062] The common key to Examples 1-7 lies in the fact that their molecular cores are all triphenylamine structures, combined with DASA photoresponse units. This specific structural design allows them to not only undergo visible color changes under light, but also to provide a second, more covert, and information-dense fluorescent anti-counterfeiting mode due to the shift and intensity changes in their inherent bimodal fluorescence spectra before and after light exposure.
[0063] In contrast, the DASA compound in Comparative Example 1, with triphenylbenzene as its core structure, although successfully synthesized and exhibiting some fluorescence, has a single-peak fluorescence emission spectrum lacking bimodal characteristics. Therefore, it cannot achieve the multi-layered information encryption based on bimodal fluorescence signal interpretation as described in this invention; it can only provide a single color change response, and its anti-counterfeiting capabilities and security are far inferior to the star-shaped oligomer of this invention.
[0064] Table 1. Decolorization rates of star-shaped oligomers in Examples 1-7
[0065] according to Figure 1 As shown in the absorption spectrum of DASA-2, it completely fades after 180 s. From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the DASA-2 compound in Example 1 exhibits the fastest fading response, with a fading rate of only 180 seconds; the fading response rate of DASA-3 in Example 2 is slightly slower than that of DASA-2; the fading rate of DASA-1 in Example 3 is relatively slower, possibly due to its relatively simple molecular structure and weaker steric hindrance and synergistic effect of photoisomerization; Example 4, with a substituted group, has a similar fading rate to DASA-1; Examples 5-7, with substituted groups compared to DASA-2, have slightly worse fading rates than DASA-2, but the difference is not significant.
[0066] In this invention, "fading rate" is a key kinetic indicator for measuring the responsiveness of anti-counterfeiting materials. Specifically, it refers to the time required for a material to transition from a colored state (e.g., blue-violet) to a faded state (e.g., colorless) under light triggering. Generally, a faster fading rate (e.g., 180 seconds in Example 1) means a quicker anti-counterfeiting verification process. In scenarios requiring immediate verification, a rapid response can significantly improve anti-counterfeiting efficiency. However, a faster fading rate is not always better; the optimal choice depends on the specific application scenario and functional requirements. Therefore, this invention provides a series of compounds with different fading rates, allowing the selection of the most suitable star-shaped oligomer based on the specific requirements for response speed, information retention time, and operational procedures in actual applications.
[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
