Room-Temperature Phosphorescent Tough Hydrogels Based on Ionically Crosslinked Nonaromatic Polymers
ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS(2024)
摘要
Organic photoluminescent materials exhibiting room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) have attracted widespread attention. However, most of them can emit phosphorescence only in the solid state, which strongly limits their applications. Herein, a type of phosphorescent hydrogel with excellent mechanical properties is prepared by immersing an as-prepared poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel in a poly(sodium maleate) solution and then in a CaCl2 solution, followed by drying under stretching at 90 & DEG;C and finally soaking it in deionized water until equilibrium swelling to produce poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(calcium maleate)-DS ( PVA/PMACa-DS) hydrogels. Such hydrogels exhibit excellent mechanical properties, showing tensile strengths up to 15 MPa, due to the presence of strong hydrogen bonding and especially ionic bonding. The PVA/PMACa-DS hydrogels emit varied phosphorescence emission colors from blue to yellow-green upon excitation with 312-400 nm light, with a maximum lifetime of 13.4 ms. Experiments and theoretical calculations demonstrate that ionic crosslinking between Ca2+ and nonconventional chromophores prevents the contact of the nonconventional chromophores with water molecules and hence restricts nonradiative decay, leading to RTP emission. This work provides a reliable strategy for designing RTP hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties based on nonaromatic polymers for emerging applications. A novel type of room-temperature phosphorescent hydrogels based on ionically crosslinked nonaromatic polymers are fabricated. The hydrogels exhibit excellent mechanical properties with tensile strengths up to 15 MPa and excitation-dependent phosphorescence with a maximum lifetime of 13.4 ms.image
