The invention relates to a fluorescent
dye doped cholesteric liquid crystal microcapsule and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of functional material preparation. The microcapsule is prepared by taking
cholesteric liquid crystal doped with fluorescent dye as a core material and a
high polymer material as a
wall material through an
interfacial polymerization method. The microcapsule is uniform in particle size (10-150 [mu] m), is spherical in appearance, and has excellent physical and
chemical stability, optical performance and
mechanical strength. The
cholesteric liquid crystal in the core material forms a periodic spiral structure through the synergistic effect of the chiral agent and the micromolecular nematic
liquid crystal, the cholesteric
liquid crystal is doped with the fluorescent dye to generate remarkable color regulation and control capability and
fluorescence characteristics, and meanwhile, the microcapsule is endowed with cpl performance. By optimizing the
process conditions of emulsification, stirring, reaction and the like and regulating and controlling the concentration of the fluorescent dye, the microcapsule shows remarkable fluorescent response and excellent environmental adaptability under a multi-band excitation
light source. The preparation method provided by the invention is efficient, simple and convenient, the concentration of the fluorescent dye can be regulated and controlled according to actual requirements, and precise anti-counterfeiting application of low-concentration
doping and strong fluorescent anti-counterfeiting and sensor application of high-concentration
doping are realized. The method has a wide application prospect in the fields of optical display, anti-counterfeiting technology and sensing.
