AI Technical Summary
Existing fluorescent polymers are easily degraded in acidic and oxidizing media, resulting in a significant decrease in fluorescence intensity, making them unsuitable for effective application in complex chemical environments.
Introducing bulky aryl ketone structures on both sides of the nitrogen atom in aromatic amine polymers creates a steric hindrance effect and enhances electron-withdrawing properties, thereby improving the polymer's acid resistance and oxidative stability.
After treatment with acidic and oxidizing media, the fluorescence intensity remains above 65%, and the polymer can still be used effectively in complex chemical environments.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer chemistry technology, and particularly relates to an aromatic amine polymer containing ketone groups and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Fluorescent polymers, with their excellent photoluminescence properties, high sensitivity, fast response and good processability, have shown broad application prospects in fields such as information anti-counterfeiting and optoelectronic devices.
[0003] However, in actual service, fluorescent polymers generally face the prominent problem of insufficient chemical corrosion resistance: in acidic, oxidizing media and other environments, the polymer molecular chains are prone to degradation, fluorescent groups are destroyed or photophysical properties are attenuated, resulting in a significant reduction or even complete quenching of fluorescence intensity, which in turn leads to inaccurate or even invalid output results, and ineffective application in complex chemical environments.
[0004] Therefore, how to develop a novel fluorescent polymer that combines excellent fluorescence properties with intrinsic acid resistance and stability in oxidizing media is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

This aromatic amine polymer contains ketone groups and introduces large-volume aryl ketone structures on both sides of the nitrogen atom, forming a significant steric hindrance effect. This physically hinders the attack of the more reactive nitrogen atom by acidic or oxidizing media. At the same time, the strong electron-withdrawing effect of the aryl ketone structures on both sides also disperses the positive charge of the nitrogen atom, thereby enhancing the nitrogen atom's resistance to protonation and further improving the polymer's acid resistance. Thus, a fluorescent polymer with intrinsic acid resistance and oxidizing media stability is obtained.

Furthermore, by preferably placing the ratio within the above range, it is beneficial to obtain improved intrinsic resistance to acidic and oxidizing media.
