A thermo-responsive conjugated polymer, PFBT-gPA is synthesized by grafting the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) to the side chains of a conjugated polyfluorene derivative through atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). PFBT-gPA undergoes a reversible phase transition in water below and above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and the process is studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis and UV/vis absorption spectra. PFBT-gPA shows a good photostability under UV light irradiation especially above the LCST. Moreover, the photosensitizing performance of PFBT-gPA could be tuned simply by changing temperature. The unique properties of PFBT-gPA promise its potential applications in sensing and photodynamic therapy.
通过原子转移自由基聚合(ATRP),将聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)(PNIPAAm)接枝到共轭聚芴衍生物的侧链上,合成了一种温敏共轭聚合物 PFBT-gPA。PFBT-gPA 在低于和高于低临界溶液温度(LCST)下的水中发生可逆相转变,通过差示扫描量热法(DSC)分析和紫外/可见吸收光谱研究了这一过程。PFBT-gPA 在紫外光照射下表现出良好的光稳定性,特别是在 LCST 以上。此外,PFBT-gPA 的光致敏感性可以通过简单地改变温度来调节。PFBT-gPA 的独特性质使其有望在传感和光动力治疗方面得到应用。
