In addition, there are also scholars who use pH to regulate fluid viscosity, but there are irreversible disadvantages.

Detailed Description
To facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
The term, degree of polymerization, is an indicator of the molecular size of a polymer. The number of the repeating units is taken as a reference, namely the average value of the number of the repeating units contained in the macromolecular chain of the polymer is expressed by n; based on the number of structural units, i.e., the number of individual structural units contained in the macromolecular chain of the polymer.
The reaction of photoinduced structural changes is also called photoinducedIsomerization reaction, that is, under the action of light with specific wavelength intensity, the internal molecular structure of some compounds is changed due to the excitation of light wave. From the viewpoint of energy storage, when compound A is subjected to wavelength λ1When the compound is irradiated with light, the compound undergoes a specific chemical reaction process to obtain a product B, the energy is stored in a chemical bond, and the absorption spectrum of the compound is correspondingly changed due to the change of the molecular structure; if another specific wavelength λ is used2The compound can return to its original state upon irradiation with light, and the stored light energy is released as heat. A. The two substances B can stably exist under certain conditions, maintain respective specific chemical and physical properties, and the compound which can be reversibly changed under the action of light is a light-induced structural change molecule. The light-induced structural change molecule has the following characteristics: a. under certain conditions, both compounds can exist stably; b. the two isomeric compounds are generally different in color; c. the isomerization process is absolutely reversible; photoisomerization is a completely reversible photochemical reaction, and although other irreversible reactions under the action of light waves can also cause changes in the structure or properties of compounds, it belongs to the general photochemical category and not to the photoisomerization reaction category, which is an important criterion for determining whether a reaction is a photoisomerization reaction.
Among the most typical photo-structurally-changeable molecules are azobenzene-based molecules. Two ends of a nitrogen-nitrogen double bond are respectively connected with a benzene ring molecule which is called azobenzene molecule, the photoresponse of the azobenzene molecule is mainly reflected on an azo group, and a series of compounds derived by taking the azobenzene molecule as a structural core are collectively called azobenzene compounds. Azo groups are composed of one pi bond and one sigma bond, and in an azobenzene molecule, the-C-N-bond and the-N-bond are angled and not in the same line, so that the azo benzene molecule has a trans configuration and a cis configuration. Common molecules with photo-induced structural changes also include spiropyran-based molecules, diarylene-based molecules, and the like.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2 to 5, the present application provides a solution with a photoinduced viscosity, which comprises a functional molecule and a solvent for dissolving the functional molecule, wherein the functional molecule is a polymer formed by alternately connecting a photoinduced structure-change molecule and an organic long-chain molecule, and the photoinduced structure-change molecule can be converted into a first structure under the irradiation of ultraviolet light in a first wavelength range and can be converted into a second structure under the irradiation of visible light in a second wavelength range or near infrared light in a third wavelength range.
The solution having a photo-induced viscosity has a first viscosity when the photo-induced structural change molecules are in the first structure and a second viscosity when the photo-induced structural change molecules are in the second structure. The first viscosity is greater than the second viscosity, i.e., the viscosity of the solution having a photo-induced viscosity after irradiation with ultraviolet light is greater than the viscosity after irradiation with near infrared or visible light.
The present application provides a reversible, photo-viscosity modulating solution. The preparation of the solution is that the structure of the light-induced structural change molecule has larger difference before and after different illumination, the inventor firstly improves the light-induced structural change molecule, the light-induced structural change molecule and the organic long-chain molecule are alternately polymerized to obtain the polymer functional molecule, the polymer can show reversible change of viscosity after being used as an additive and mixed with basic lubricating liquid, and the influence of the organic long-chain molecule on the structural change of the whole functional molecule is enlarged by the modification of the light-induced structural change molecule, and the solution shows more obvious viscosity change. Reversible alternation of the solution viscosity can be achieved by applying alternating ultraviolet and near infrared light at a certain shear rate. The viscosity of the solution shows the light response characteristic, and the light field regulation and control of the solution viscosity under the constant shear rate are realized. Compared with pH viscosity regulation, electrorheological fluid, magnetorheological fluid and light excitation regulation and control modes, the method has great advantages in the aspects of energy consumption, reaction sensitivity and environmental protection. The application has potential application in guiding interface friction, lubrication, adsorption and wetting.
In one embodiment, the light-induced structural change molecule is capable of reversibly switching between the first structure and the second structure, thereby allowing the functional molecule to reversibly switch between different structures. And irradiating the solution with the optically variable viscosity by alternately irradiating the solution with the ultraviolet light in the first wavelength range and at least one of the visible light in the second wavelength range or the near-infrared light in the third wavelength range, thereby realizing reversible transition of the viscosity of the solution with the optically variable viscosity between the first viscosity and the second viscosity with the alternate irradiation of the ultraviolet light and the visible light/near-infrared light.
In addition, the light can be accurately positioned in the space, and the cost of the illumination mode is low, so that the solution with the photoinduced viscosity has potential application prospects in the fields of intelligent materials and microfluid control.
The light-induced structural change molecule has a functional group which responds to light and can react under the irradiation of ultraviolet light in a first wavelength range to convert the light-induced structural change molecule into a first structure, and under the irradiation of visible light in a second wavelength range or visible light in a third wavelength range to convert the light-induced structural change molecule into a second structure, wherein the first structure and the second structure are isomers. In one embodiment, the light-induced structural change molecule is capable of undergoing a cis-trans isomeric change or a ring-opening-pi closed-loop structural change. Cis-trans isomeric changes are manifested by the first structure being cis and the second structure being trans, or the first structure being trans and the second structure being cis. The open-loop and pi closed-loop structural change is represented by that the first structural functional group is open loop and the second structure is pi closed loop, or the first structural functional group is pi closed loop and the second structure is open loop.
In one embodiment, the light-induced structural change molecule is selected from one or more of an azobenzene group-containing molecule and a diarylene-type molecule.
Referring to fig. 2-3, in some embodiments, the functional group is in a cis configuration in the first structure and the cis configuration is converted to a trans configuration in the second structure. In one embodiment, the functional group comprises an azobenzene group, and the conversion of the cis structure and the trans structure is realized through the rotation of a nitrogen-nitrogen double bond.
Referring to fig. 4-5, in some embodiments, the functional group is a pi-closed cyclic structure in the first structure and the pi-closed cyclic structure is converted to an open-loop structure in the second structure. In one embodiment, the pi-closed cyclic structure may include a carbon-carbon single bond, and the carbon-carbon single bond of the pi-closed cyclic structure is broken under the irradiation of the visible light in the second wavelength range or the near infrared light in the third wavelength range to form an open ring structure containing an alkenyl group. And under the irradiation of ultraviolet light in the first wavelength range, the alkenyl of the open-loop structure is reconnected to form a pi closed ring structure.
In the functional molecules, an organic long-chain molecule segment is represented as A, a light-induced structural change molecule segment is represented as B, the organic long-chain molecule and the light-induced structural change molecule are in an ABABAB alternate connection relationship, and the functional molecules can be represented by … … A-B-A-B … …. Functional molecules can be prepared by conventional polymerization methods, but specific polymerization must be ensured. For example, by polymerization of the A carboxyl group and the B hydroxyl group, or polymerization of the B carboxyl group and the A hydroxyl group, etc. That is, the copolymerization of the organic long-chain molecule and the light-induced structural change molecule is specific copolymerization, not random copolymerization. The organic long-chain molecules play a role in connecting adjacent light-induced structure change molecules, and the structure of the organic long-chain molecules does not change along with light change. The light-induced structural change molecules are connected through the organic long-chain molecules, so that the chain length is increased, and the copolymer has a plurality of molecules with structures capable of being changed.
In one embodiment, the organic long-chain molecule is a molecule having a main chain containing 4 to 10 carbon atoms. In a multi-angle experiment, the structural change of the light-induced structural change molecules in the length range has more obvious overall influence on the structural change of the functional molecules, so that the solution shows larger viscosity change.
In one embodiment, the number of alternation between the light-induced structural change molecule in the functional molecule and the organic long-chain molecule is 5-10. Namely, the polymerization degree of the functional molecule is 5-10, namely, the functional molecule contains 5-10-A-B-molecule segments which are connected in sequence.
In one embodiment, the first wavelength range is 350nm to 380 nm. The light-induced structure-changing molecules are sensitive to ultraviolet light in this wavelength range and are capable of being converted into a first structure.
In one embodiment, the second wavelength range is 500nm to 600 nm. The light-induced structure-changing molecules are sensitive to visible light in this wavelength range and can be converted into a second structure.
In one embodiment, the third wavelength range is 780nm to 1000 nm. The light-induced structure-changing molecules are sensitive to near-infrared light in the wavelength range and can be converted into a second structure.
Of course, the sensitivity to light of a particular wavelength may differ slightly for different light-induced structural change molecules and for functional molecules with different light-induced structural change molecules.
In one embodiment, the power of the applied ultraviolet light may be 30W to 50W. In one embodiment, the power applied to the visible light may be 15W to 35W. In one embodiment, the applied power of the near infrared light may be 10W to 25W. The power of visible light, near infrared light or ultraviolet light is prevented from being too small, so that the photosensitivity of the functional molecules is too weak, and meanwhile, the power of visible light, near infrared light or ultraviolet light is prevented from being too large to cause the damage of the unexpected group structure of the functional molecules.
The solvent is capable of dissolving the functional molecule, preferably, the solvent also has a lubricating effect. In one embodiment, the solvent is selected from one or more of polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyalphaolefin base oils, and saturated alkanes having 10-16 carbon atoms (i.e., decane to hexadecane). In one embodiment, the PEG may be selected from one or more of the 200, 300 or 400 series. In one embodiment, the polyalphaolefin base oil is one or more of the PAO-4 to PAO-10 series having low viscosity.
In one embodiment, the mass percentage of the functional molecule in the solution with the photo-variable viscosity is 0.5% -2%. Within this concentration range, the structure of the functional molecule is more sensitive to the responsiveness to light, so that the controllability of the viscosity of a solution having the functional molecule is stronger. Specifically, the mass percentage of the functional molecule in the solution with the photochromic viscosity can be 0.5% -1%, 1% -1.5% or 1.5% -2%.
The embodiment of the application also provides a method for regulating and controlling the viscosity of the fluid, which comprises the following steps:
providing said solution having a photovariable viscosity;
irradiating the solution with the photo-variable viscosity with ultraviolet light of the first wavelength range to transform the photo-induced structure change molecule into a first structure, the solution with the photo-variable viscosity having a first viscosity; or irradiating the photo-induced structure change molecule with the visible light of the second wavelength range or the near infrared light of the third wavelength range to convert the photo-induced structure change molecule into the second structure, wherein the solution with the photo-induced structure change molecule has the second viscosity.
In one embodiment, alternately irradiating the solution having the photo-variable viscosity with the ultraviolet light of the first wavelength range and the visible light of the second wavelength range or the near-infrared light of the third wavelength range causes the photo-induced structure-changing molecule to reversibly transform between the first structure and the second structure, i.e., causes the functional molecule to reversibly transform between the two structures.
In one embodiment, the single irradiation time of the ultraviolet light, the visible light or the near infrared light is at least 2 minutes to 10 minutes. The structure of the light-induced structural change molecule can change in a short time along with the change of the light irradiation stimulus, and the light-induced structural change molecule can be ensured to be fully subjected to structural transformation in the light irradiation time range. In addition, the light irradiation time is not preferably too long to avoid the change of the solution properties, for example, the single light irradiation time is at most 30 minutes.
In one embodiment, after the solution with the photochromic viscosity is irradiated by the ultraviolet light in the first wavelength range or the solution with the photochromic viscosity is irradiated by the visible light in the second wavelength range or the infrared light in the third wavelength range, the method further comprises the step of shading the solution with the photochromic viscosity until the temperature of the solution is 20 ℃ to 30 ℃. The shading treatment for a period of time can avoid the functional molecules from generating unexpected structural change, and simultaneously avoid the light-induced structural change from generating excessive heat due to the structural change reaction, influencing the performance of the functional molecules and the solvent, and causing the uncontrollable change of viscosity.
