Abstract
The invention discloses a preparation method of aggregation-induced emission microsphere with core-shell structure, which comprises dissolving aggregation-induced emission material and amphiphilic polymer as raw materials in good solvent, adding water solution with surfactant, making the solution into microemulsion, removing good solvent in the microemulsion, centrifuging, redissolving the obtained precipitate in alkaline water, hydrolyzing, centrifuging, cleaning, redissolving the cleaned precipitate in buffer solution, and obtaining aggregation-induced emission microsphere with core-shell structure; the raw materials also comprise fat-soluble colored dye, and the aggregation-induced emission microsphere with core-shell structure, colorimetric and fluorescent functions is prepared. The method has the advantages of simple process, no need of complex instruments, short time, low reagent cost, high stability and good reproducibility, and has good commercialization prospect; and the prepared aggregation-induced emission microsphere has the advantages of complete appearance, good dispersibility, narrow particle size distribution, strong fluorescence signal and controllable particle size.

Background
The fluorescence analysis technology is widely applied to the fields of food safety rapid detection, biomedical inspection and the like due to the advantages of convenience in detection, rapid sensitivity, real-time detection and the like, and plays a key role in guaranteeing food safety and disease diagnosis and treatment. Because the traditional organic fluorescent dye has a rigid plane structure, the fluorescence of the traditional organic fluorescent dye is greatly weakened or even quenched in a high concentration or aggregation state, so that the application of the traditional organic fluorescent dye in the field of high-sensitivity analysis is severely restricted.
Until 2001, the group of the academy of sciences and sciences at hong Kong university Tang Benzhong first proposed the concept of "aggregation-induced emission (AIE)", which opened a new way to solve this problem. Compared with the traditional aggregation quenching organic fluorescent dye, the fluorescent dye with aggregation-induced emission property has weak light emission even difficult to observe in a dilute solution state, but can emit bright fluorescence when aggregation occurs in the solution or in a solid state. Aggregation-induced emission type fluorescent dyes have become a research hotspot in the fluorescence field due to their unique properties of solid state emission.
The existing synthesis methods of aggregation-induced emission microspheres mainly comprise an emulsion polymerization method, a self-assembly method and a microemulsion method. Emulsion polymerization (CN 104628923A, CN104628924 a) allows the synthesis of structurally stable polymer microspheres, but with the presence of an initiator initiated polymerization, thus resulting in a longer synthesis period (> 2 days). The self-assembly method (CN 113788795A) connects the aggregation-inducing luminescent material and the hydrophilic compound by chemical synthesis to form an amphiphilic chemical with one hydrophilic end and the other hydrophobic end. In microsphere synthesis, no initiator is needed due to hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions, and spontaneous balling is achieved. Because AIE molecules and hydrophilic chemicals need to be connected through chemical synthesis in advance, the pretreatment process for synthesizing the microsphere by a self-assembly method is complex, and the universality is low. And its dye loading efficiency is low due to the limitation of the structure of the compound (the fixation of the dye and the polymer is 1:1). The microemulsion method combines the advantages of simple synthesis process and short synthesis time of the self-assembly method, and can synthesize the aggregation-induced emission microsphere in a short time by a simple process. For example, patent CN109749326B prepares tetramethyl tetrastilbene fluorescent microsphere by microemulsion method, but contains organic glass and polymethyl methacrylate, but the introduction of polymethyl methacrylate can lead to the reduction of the loading of fluorescent dye, resulting in the optical performance of fluorescent microsphere not high. By removing polymethyl methacrylate in the organic phase, the dye loading of the microspheres can be increased. Therefore, the invention aims to remove the organic glass, adopts the amphiphilic polymer and synthesizes the AIE fluorescent microsphere by a microemulsion method. Because AIE dyes are rich in benzene rings, and have a polarity difference from polymers, phase separation occurs during the volatilization of the organic phase, forming a typical core-shell structure. The outer polymer shell not only provides various functional groups, but also protects the fluorescent groups, thereby improving the environmental tolerance. Has bright prospect in application.
