Abstract
Urethane‐substituted polydiacetylene (PDA) crystals of bis(ethyl)‐urethane of 5,7‐dodecadiyne‐1,12‐diol (poly(ETCD)) with micronscale and nanoscale dimension were fabricated by either ultrasonication, surfactant addition or vapor phase processing approaches. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to evaluate the sizes and the shapes of the obtained poly(ETCD) microcrystals. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was performed to investigate in situ size distributions of these crystals in aqueous suspension. A UV/Visible/NIR Spectrometer (UV/Vis/NIR) was used to study the electronic absorption of the poly(ETCD) microcrystals. Thermochromic phenomena for poly(ETCD) crystals still exist after their dimension was decreased to the nanoscale.
