Description

pNIPAm gel device, preparation method and application method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical materials, in particular to a pNIPAm gel device, a preparation method and an application method.
Background
Thermally responsive polymer gels are elastic semi-solid materials formed from a solvent (usually water) and a polymer network that can selectively produce large volume changes over a specific temperature range. Based on the nature of the polymer network, thermoresponsive polymer gels can be classified into two categories, one with a Low CriticaL SoLution Temperature (LCST) and the other with a high criticaL soLution temperature (UCST). The low critical eutectic temperature and the high critical eutectic temperature of the thermal response polymer gel are collectively referred to as the thermal response temperature or the phase transition temperature.
The thermoresponsive polymer gel with an LCST dehydrates, reduces in volume and reduces in light transmission when the temperature is raised to the LCST, and absorbs water again, increases in volume and increases in light transmission when the temperature is lowered back to the LCST, such as poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) hydrogel, hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) hydrogel and the like. Among them, the pNIPAm hydrogel has a phase transition temperature of about 32 ℃, and a relatively low temperature, which is between room temperature and human body temperature, and is a most common thermal response hydrogel material.
After phase transition (LCST) of pure pNIPAm hydrogel, water will be separated out from the polymer molecular chain, forming a solvent-rich phase and a polymer-rich phase, and forming an obvious phase interface. There is a significant difference in refractive index between the solvent-rich and polymer-rich phases, and the solvent forms numerous microspheres randomly dispersed within the polymer matrix under the combined influence of the interfacial tension of the solvent and the interaction with the polymer/solvent. When incident light enters the polymer gel, the microspheres become light scattering centers, and under the combined action of countless scattering centers, the thermally responsive polymer gel has the capability of regulating and controlling the incident light after phase change.
Before phase transition (LCST), polymer molecular chains of the pure pNIPAm hydrogel have strong interaction with a solvent, the molecular chains of the polymer are in a stretched state, and no obvious phase interface appears, so that the polymer gel can be in a transparent state. However, the light-regulating ability of pure thermo-responsive polymer gel after phase transition is not outstanding, and the two main reasons are: A. the size of the scattering center is not easy to regulate and control; B. the difference in refractive index between the water-rich phase and the polymer-rich phase is not easily controlled. They greatly weaken the regulation and control ability and scattering performance of the gel to light, and the phase transition temperature of the pure pNIPAm hydrogel is 32 ℃, which has a larger difference compared with the room temperature (25 ℃). These deficiencies all greatly limit the application of pure pNIPAm hydrogel in smart windows and the fields of human body temperature sensing, etc.
At present, the main methods for improving the light regulation and control capability of the thermal response pNIPAm hydrogel after phase transition are as follows: microgel method, refractive index regulation method and scatterer introduction method. The microgel method is that micro-nano gel microspheres are prepared by methods such as violent stirring and the like in the process of thermal response polymer gel polymerization. ② the refractive index regulating method refers to a method for improving the light regulating ability of the thermal response polymer gel by regulating the refractive index difference between the water-rich phase and the polymer-rich phase. Both methods can obviously improve the light regulation and scattering performance of the thermal response polymer gel after phase change, but the preparation method is complex, involves high-temperature reaction and large-amount use of solvent, and is very unfavorable for the environment. And thirdly, a scatterer method is further introduced, and as the name suggests, a scattering center is further introduced into the thermal response polymer gel. The method can simply and effectively improve the light regulation and control capability of the thermal response polymer gel after phase change, but has great influence on the transmittance of the thermal response polymer gel before phase change. In addition, the three methods do not simultaneously relate to the regulation and control of the phase-change temperature while improving the light regulation and control capability after the phase change.
Therefore, a simple, convenient and green method is sought, and on the premise of ensuring that the transmittance of the thermo-responsive polymer gel is not changed greatly before the phase change, the regulation and control capability of the thermo-responsive polymer gel on light after the phase change is improved as much as possible. Meanwhile, if the phase transition temperature can be regulated and controlled at the same time, the application of the phase transition temperature in the fields of intelligent windows, human body temperature sensing and the like can be further expanded.

< technical mechanism and advantageous effects adopted by the present invention >
(1) The invention aims to achieve the purpose of simultaneously regulating and controlling the phase transition temperature and the light regulation and control capability after phase transition (LCST) by weakening the interaction between the thermal response polymer gel and the solvent;
(2) in the invention, the interaction between the thermal response polymer molecular chain and the solvent is weakened, so as to regulate and control the size relationship of the interaction between the thermal response polymer molecular chain and the polymer molecular chain or the interaction between the solvent molecules. The size relationship between the interaction between the polymer molecular chain and the solvent and the interaction between the polymer molecular chains is closely related to the phase transition temperature of the polymer gel device; the interaction between the polymer molecular chain and the solvent and the interaction between the solvents determine the light control capability and the light management performance of the polymer gel device after phase change;
(3) when the relative value of the interaction between the polymer molecular chain and the solvent molecule is reduced as compared with the interaction between the polymer molecular chains, the solvent molecule is more easily discharged out of the polymer molecular chain, an enriched state of the solvent is more easily formed, and a scattering center and a scattering interface are generated. Therefore, the phase transition temperature of the polymer gel is lowered.
(4) Compared with the interaction between solvent molecules, the change of the relative value of the interaction between the polymer molecular chain and the solvent molecules can directly influence the size of the scattering center of the polymer gel after phase change, and further influence the light regulation and control capability and the light management performance of a gel device. After the phase transition, when the scattering center formed when the polymer gel reaches a stable state, the scattering microspheres composed of the solvent are affected by interfacial tension, solvent molecule interaction force inside the microspheres, and interaction of polymer molecule chains and solvent molecules. Therefore, if the interaction between the polymer molecular chain and the solvent molecule is weakened, the resultant force applied to the microsphere is increased, and the direction is still directed to the interior of the microsphere, and then the size of the microsphere is obviously reduced (as shown in fig. 2).

As can be seen from tables 1-1 to tables 1-4: compared with a pure pNIPAm gel device, the modified pNIPAm gel device prepared by the invention has little change of transmittance before phase change, high light transmittance and low haze, but the regulation and control capability to light after phase change is obviously improved, and the phase change temperature is obviously reduced.
Specifically, at 25 ℃, neither gel undergoes phase transition behavior, and the total transmittance, haze, direct transmittance and scattering transmittance of the two are not obviously changed. After the phase transition temperature is exceeded (the phase transition temperature of the modified pNIPAm gel device is about 27-29 ℃, and the phase transition temperature of the pure pNIPAm gel device (C1) is about 33-35 ℃), the total transmittance and the direct transmittance of the modified pNIPAm gel (E1) are obviously reduced, and the haze and the scattering transmittance are also obviously improved. Taking the modified pNIPAm gel with the third component of ethanol as an example, the total transmittance of the modified pNIPAm gel device is 47.96% and the direct transmittance is 0% at 37 ℃, and the transmittance is respectively reduced by 22.46% and 100% compared with that of a pure pNIPAm gel device; the haze is 101.80%, the scattering transmittance is 48.75%, and compared with a pure pNIPAm gel device, the haze is increased by 57.68% and 22.09%, respectively.

< analysis of mechanism >
As shown in fig. 1, the introduction of the third component weakens the hydrogen bonding interaction between water molecules and pNIPAm polymer molecules, and the interaction between polymer chains is more dominant after the phase transition occurs, so that the modified pNIPAm gel device can undergo the phase transition at a lower temperature. In addition, the reduction of hydrogen bonding interactions of water molecules with the pNIPAm polymer molecular chains also makes it at a disadvantage in competition with the surface tension of the water droplet scattering centers (fig. 2A-C), and therefore the size of the scattering centers is significantly reduced. From Mie scattering theory, the reduced scattering intensity of the scattering center is significantly enhanced (fig. 2D).
< characterization of applications of outdoor Smart Window >

Table 2 shows the modified pNIPAm gel and the pure pNIPAm gel for the near infrared band (780nm-2500nm) and sunlightAnd (3) analyzing the regulation and control performance of a wave band (280nm-2500nm) and a visible light wave band (380nm-780 nm). Obviously, the modified pNIPAm gel has more excellent regulation and control performance on light of different wave bands. Further, at room temperature (25 ℃ C.), in 1 sun (100 mW/cm)2) The modified gel can generate phase change within about 80s, and compared with pure pNIPAm gel (200s), the phase change speed is improved by about 60 percent. In conclusion, the modified gel has lower phase transition temperature and more excellent light management performance, and can more rapidly generate phase transition under the sunlight to shield the sunlight. The indoor temperature can be effectively regulated and controlled while the privacy is protected. Therefore, the method has wide application prospect in outdoor intelligent windows.
