Abstract
Fluorescent polyurethane has been widely used as fluorescent probes and switches due to its diverse structure and properties, but most of them are solvent-based and synthesized from petroleum-based products. A new type of rosin-based anthraquinone fluorescent waterborne polyurethane (WPU-DAAQ) with good and stable fluorescence properties was synthesized by reacting rosin modified ester (RAG) as a diol and 2, 6-diaminoanthraquinone (DAAQ) as a fluorescent agent with diisocyanate. The structure of WPU-DAAQ was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, and hydrogen magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The fluorescence properties, water resistance, and solvent resistance of WPU-DAAQ were tested. The results showed that DAAQ was successfully grafted onto the polyurethane molecular chain. The fluorescence intensity of WPU-DAAQ increases and then decreases with increasing excitation wavelengths, and increases with the increase of solvent ether content, and is significantly enhanced compared to DAAQ. The dispersion stability was good with the increase of DAAQ. The introduction of DAAQ into polyurethane improved the thermal stability, hydrophobicity, and solvent resistance of WPU-DAAQ. Therefore, WPU-DAAQ is a new type of fluorescent waterborne polyurethane with stable dispersion properties, good fluorescent properties, heat resistance and water resistance.
