Rhodamine-conjugated acrylamide polymers exhibiting selective fluorescence enhancement at specific temperature ranges
چکیده انگلیسی

A simple copolymer, poly(NIPAM-co-RD), consisting of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and rhodamine (RD) units, behaves as a fluorescent temperature sensor exhibiting selective fluorescence enhancement at a specific temperature range (25–40 °C) in water. This is driven by a heat-induced phase transition of the polymer from coil to globule. At low temperature, the polymer exists as a polar coil state and shows very weak fluorescence. At >25 °C, the polymer weakly aggregates and forms a less polar domain within the polymer, leading to fluorescence enhancement. However, at >33 °C, strong polymer aggregation leads to a formation of huge polymer particles, which suppresses the incident light absorption by the RD units and shows very weak fluorescence. In the present work, effects of polymer concentration and type of acrylamide unit in the polymer have been investigated. The increase in the polymer concentration in water leads to a formation of less polar domain even at low temperature and, hence, widens the detectable temperature range to lower temperature. Addition of N-n-propylacrylamide (NNPAM) or N-isopropylmethacrylamide (NIPMAM) component to the polymer, which has lower or higher phase transition temperature than that of NIPAM, enables the aggregation temperature of the polymer to shift. This then shifts the detectable temperature region to lower or higher temperature.
