Abstract
The design and synthesis of organic high-temperature reversible thermochromic materials is one of the difficult issues in the field of organic chromic materials. In this paper, four diacetylene monomers named DBA-PCDA, TBA-PCDA, DBE-PCDA and TBE-PCDA, each containing multiple diacetylene units, were synthesized from 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) through the amidation or esterification reactions, using 4,4′-diaminobiphenyl, 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene, 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl, and 1,3,5-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzene as bridging units. The effects of functional groups that can form hydrogen bond and π-π interactions on the solid-state polymerization properties of monomers and the thermochromic properties of the corresponding PDAs were investigated. The results show that only DBA-PCDA and TBA-PCDA, which contain functional groups that can form hydrogen bonding interactions, can be polymerized under 254-nm UV irradiation. The corresponding poly(DBA-PCDA) exhibits reversible thermochromic property even heated up to 200 oC, showing a potential application in the field of high-temperature thermal indicator above 100 °C. This work provides a new perspective to the development of PDA with high-temperature reversible thermochromic property.
