Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional materials, specifically relating to a thin film material with photochromic and / or room temperature phosphorescence, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Photoresponsive materials, capable of undergoing reversible changes in physical or chemical properties under external light stimulation, represent the forefront of smart materials research. Among them, photochromic materials (color changes) and long-afterglow phosphorescent materials (luminescence changes) show great potential in fields such as anti-counterfeiting, encryption, and displays.
[0003] Currently, the following are the main problems in this technical field: (1) Functional limitation: Most reported materials only have a single photochromic or phosphorescent emission function. To achieve multiple anti-counterfeiting measures, it is usually necessary to physically mix or process multiple materials, which not only increases the complexity of the process, but may also lead to mutual interference of signals.
[0004] (2) Preparation complexity: Many high-performance materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), or copolymers that require complex synthesis, have complicated preparation processes, harsh conditions, and high costs, making it difficult to achieve large-scale production and application.
[0005] (3) The contradiction between stability and processability: Small molecule photoresponsive materials are prone to aggregation in the solid state, which leads to fluorescence quenching or performance degradation, and it is difficult to directly process them into high-quality thin films. Although doping them into polymer matrices (such as PMMA) can improve processability, how to accurately control their optical properties and achieve dual response remains a challenge.
[0006] (4) Uncontrollable response mechanism: The photoresponse behavior of traditional materials (such as color change wavelength and emission color) is often determined by the molecules themselves. Once synthesized, it is difficult to adjust and there is a lack of a general strategy to flexibly customize the function of materials through simple molecular design.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need and significant application value to develop a novel thin film material that is easy to prepare, has tunable performance, integrates multiple photoresponse functions, and has good stability. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a thin film material with photochromic properties and / or room temperature phosphorescence, as well as its preparation method and application.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A thin film material exhibiting photochromic and / or room-temperature phosphorescence comprises a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) host (I) and a guest doped in the PMMA host, the guest having a structure shown in the following formula: ; R1, R2, and R3 are independently naphthyl or phenanthryl; R1, R2, and R3 may be the same or different. Preferably, at least one of R1, R2, and R3 is different.
[0010] Preferably, the guest structure described in (II) is shown as 2,2,2-trinaphthylamine (II), 2,2-dinaphthyl-9-phenanthreneamine (III), 2-naphthyl-9,9-diphenanthreneamine (IV), 9,9,9-triphenanthreneamine (V); preferably, as shown in (III) and (IV); .
[0011] (II), (III), (IV), and (V) are prepared in the following manner: .
[0012] The doping amount of the object is 1-10%; preferably 5%.
[0013] The present invention also includes a method for preparing the aforementioned thin film material with photochromic and / or room temperature phosphorescence, comprising the following steps: S1. Weigh the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix and place it in a clean, dry container. Add tetrahydrofuran solvent until completely dissolved to prepare a PMMA matrix solution; preferably, the PMMA matrix solution has a concentration of 100 mg / mL. S2. According to the doping ratio, measure the main PMMA solution from step S1 and dissolve the guest sample weighed in step S2. Disperse the sample evenly by ultrasonication until the sample is completely dissolved. After the solvent has completely evaporated, a thin film material with photostimulation response is obtained.
[0014] The present invention also includes the application of the aforementioned thin film material having photochromic and / or room temperature phosphorescence.
[0015] Preferred applications include anti-counterfeiting, information encryption and decryption, erasable materials, photochromic sunglasses, and 3D printing.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention designs naphthalene / phenanthrene-substituted triarylamine derivatives and achieves stepwise regulation of π-conjugation by adjusting the ratio of naphthalene and phenanthrene units. It establishes a quantitative relationship between "π-conjugation-photoresponse performance" and reflects the design of "molecular structure-performance", providing theoretical support for the customization of material performance.
[0017] 2. This invention, preferably through a simple physical doping method, achieves two distinct optical response modes in the same material: radical-based photochromism and triplet-state-based photoactivated phosphorescence. The synergistic effect of photoactivated phosphorescence and cyclic photochromism in the same thin film material overcomes the limitations of existing materials with single functions, meeting the needs of multi-scenario composite applications.
[0018] 3. The entire preparation process of this invention requires no complex synthesis, only physical blending and solution film formation. The process is simple, reproducible, low-cost, and easy to prepare on a large scale. The simplified film formation process significantly improves the process compatibility and environmental stability of the film, lowering the barrier to large-scale application.
[0019] 4. Based on the dual-mode photoresponse characteristics, this invention deeply integrates material properties with specific scenarios to develop innovative applications such as multi-level anti-counterfeiting, optical photochromic glasses, and 3D printing, thus expanding the application boundaries of triarylamine derivative-based photoresponse materials.

[0070] IV. Applications of Photoresponsive Materials Example 13: As Figure 29 The eyeglasses device shown involves cutting and placing the thin film material from Embodiment 3 or Embodiment 4 into the eyeglass frame. For example... Figure 29 As shown, eyeglass lenses that are not exposed to sunlight are colorless and transparent. After being exposed to direct sunlight for a period of time, the thin film material turns blue-green and transparent, effectively blocking ultraviolet rays and protecting the eyes.
[0071] Example 14: Weigh 50 mg of guest molecule (III) and place it in a clean, dry container. Measure 10 mL of the host (I) solution and dissolve the guest molecule (III) at a doping ratio of 5% by mass. Disperse the solution uniformly by ultrasonication until the sample is completely dissolved. Allow the solvent to evaporate slowly to obtain a printing solution with high viscosity. Figure 30 The diagram illustrates screen printing. After the device is fixed in place, the viscous solution obtained in step S1 is poured into the template, and the pattern is printed using a pressing method. The printed pattern is then placed in a dry and clean environment to air dry naturally, thus obtaining the hidden screen-printed pattern. Figure 30 As shown, the printed pattern is colorless, transparent, and invisible. After being exposed to ultraviolet light, a clear blue-green pattern appears. After being placed in a natural environment for 20 minutes, the pattern fades and becomes invisible again. This cyclically reversible fatigue resistance can be applied to information encryption and decryption.
[0072] Example 15: As Figure 31 As shown, when the thin film material from Example 3 was placed on the school emblem and irradiated with ultraviolet light, it turned blue-green. The characters on the school emblem were still clearly visible through the film, demonstrating the high transparency of the thin film material. Figure 32 The pattern imprinting device shown in Example 3 places the thin film material under a mask and irradiates it with ultraviolet light to imprint pattern information. The pattern information in the thin film is then observed. Figure 32 As shown, the area illuminated by the ultraviolet lamp displays a clearly visible blue-green "flower" pattern. Under natural conditions, the green "flower" pattern gradually erases and disappears, and this process can be repeated multiple times. This demonstrates how the reversible photochromic property can be applied to erasable and rewriteable information.
[0073] Example 16: As Figure 33 The 3D printing apparatus shown was used to weigh 100 mg of guest molecule (III) and 40 mL of resin solution into a clean, dry container. After mixing thoroughly, the mixture was placed in the Shape 1 HD 3D printer, and photopolymerization and photocuring were performed using the "Standard V1" software in ShapeWare to obtain the printed sample. The 3D printed sample is white in natural conditions. Under ultraviolet light, it exhibits blue fluorescence emission; after 1 minute of ultraviolet light irradiation, it exhibits bright and persistent yellow-green phosphorescence, such as... Figure 33 As shown.
[0074] In summary, this invention utilizes four N-type small molecules doped into a PMMA film to achieve photochromic and room-temperature phosphorescent photostimulation-responsive thin film materials through π-conjugation modulation. The triarylamine derivative serves as the functional guest, and π-conjugation is regulated by controlling the ratio of naphthalene to phenanthrene units. Simultaneously, the PMMA matrix provides a uniform and rigid dispersion environment for the guest molecules, effectively inhibiting molecular aggregation and quenching. This results in a thin film with excellent transparency, flexibility, and fatigue resistance, allowing for repeated recycling hundreds of times.
[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
