A tremendous potential has been observed in the designing of long afterglow materials for sensing, bioimaging, and encryption applications. In this study, two different strontium aluminate-based luminescent materials; SrAlO: Eu, Dy (S), and SrAlO: Eu, Dy (S) were melt-mixed with polypropylene (PP) matrix, and the phosphorescence properties were evaluated. After excitation at 320 nm, the PP/S composite exhibited a green emission and the PP/S generated a blue emission at 520 nm and 495 nm, respectively. The emission spectra intensity increased by increasing the content of these luminescent fillers. The attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) experiments show that no chemical reaction occurred during the melt-mixing process. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results revealed that the total crystallinity of the composites reduced by increasing the amount of the fillers; however, no changes in the temperature of melting (Tm) and crystallization (Tc) of PP were observed. Both fillers improved the impact strength of the composites, but the tensile strength (TS) and modulus (TM) decreased. Poly (ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether (P) plasticizer was used to improve the filler-matrix interaction and its dispersion; nevertheless, it adversely affected the intensity of the luminescence emissions.
在用于传感、生物成像和加密应用的长余辉材料设计方面已观察到巨大潜力。在本研究中,将两种不同的铝酸锶基发光材料;SrAlO:Eu,Dy(S)和SrAlO:Eu,Dy(S)与聚丙烯(PP)基体进行熔融混合,并对其磷光性能进行了评估。在320nm激发后,PP/S复合材料呈现绿色发射,而PP/S分别在520nm和495nm处产生蓝色发射。发射光谱强度随着这些发光填料含量的增加而增强。衰减全反射-傅里叶变换红外(ATR-FTIR)实验表明,在熔融混合过程中未发生化学反应。差示扫描量热法(DSC)结果显示,复合材料的总结晶度随着填料用量的增加而降低;然而,未观察到PP的熔点(Tm)和结晶温度(Tc)发生变化。两种填料均提高了复合材料的冲击强度,但拉伸强度(TS)和模量(TM)降低。聚(乙二醇)二甲醚(P)增塑剂用于改善填料与基体之间的相互作用及其分散性;然而,它对发光发射强度产生了不利影响。
