Description

Photochromic dye microsphere and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a photochromic dye microsphere and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of high polymer materials.
Background
Photochromism refers to the reversible transformation process of certain substances between two states of different colors upon excitation by light. Organic photochromic materials, such as spiropyrans, naphthopyrans, spirooxazines, azobenzene, fulgides and the like, have been widely used in the fields of lenses, plastic products, coatings, textiles, inks and the like. However, most photochromic materials have problems of poor fatigue resistance and stability, and are easily oxidized and degraded.
In order to improve the utilization rate of the photochromic dye, an in-situ polymerization or emulsion polymerization method is adopted to encapsulate the photochromic dye molecules in the polymer particles, so that the excellent color-changing performance is maintained, the influence of external environments (acid, alkali, air, metal ions and the like) on the core material can be avoided, the weather resistance of the core material is improved, and the application is greatly facilitated.
At present, a common method for encapsulating photochromic dye is a microcapsule method, which is to dissolve the photochromic dye in an organic solvent, and then wrap polyurethane, polyurea, melamine ester, polyaniline and natural polymers such as chitosan, sodium alginate and other shell materials on the surface of liquid drops through emulsion polymerization. However, the microcapsules obtained by the conventional method are generally poor in mechanical strength, the core material is easy to leak, and the encapsulation rate of the product is low. The photochromic dye molecules and the polymer generally have certain compatibility, and if the photochromic dye and the polymer are directly melted, emulsified and polymerized to form polymeric particles containing the photochromic dye, and then the amino resin with higher mechanical strength is wrapped on the surfaces of the polymeric particles, the defects of the photochromic microcapsules can be avoided. Photochromic dye microspheres are critical in polymer selection, and need to have good transparency, stable chemical properties, a certain degree of toughness, and sufficient mechanical strength.
Therefore, screening of suitable polymeric materials and development of suitable polymeric encapsulation processes are particularly important for enhancing the properties of photochromic dye microspheres.
