摘要： Photoresponsive polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers doped with naphthopyran-functionalized silica nanoparticles (SiO2@NPT) were successfully prepared by dry–jet wet spinning. The incorporated photochromic nanomaterials, SiO2@S1 and SiO2@S2, were previously prepared by covalent post-grafting of the silylated NPTs – 2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran derivatives, S1 and S2 – onto nano-sized SiO2 (15 ± 3 nm). The morphological and chemical characterization of the resulting doped fibers PVDF@SiO2@S1 and PVDF@SiO2@S2 was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR). Both PVDF@SiO2@S1 and PVDF@SiO2@S2 fibers presented average diameters of 133 ± 8 μm and 98 ± 7 μm, respectively, and a porous outer surface. The presence of the SiO2@NPT within the fibers was confirmed through the observation of dense clusters embedded within the polymeric matrix. Furthermore, the FTIR-ATR spectra of the fibers revealed that the PVDF matrix was composed of α and β crystalline and amorphous phases. The PVDF@SiO2@S1 and PVDF@SiO2@S2 fibers showed photoresponsive properties under UV and sunlight irradiation, exhibiting fast coloration kinetics and good optical contrast (ΔE*ab = 7.2 and 15.1, respectively), and changing from a pale orange and an off-white color to a more intense yellow-orange and purple coloration, respectively, in less than 1 min. Moreover, they showed an initial fast bleaching, losing half of their color in less than 30 min (t1/2 = 28 and 20 min for PVDF@SiO2@S1 and PVDF@SiO2@S2 fibers, respectively), but displaying a residual coloration that took 1 and 2 h to return to the initial uncolored state (t3/4 = 95 and 49 min, respectively). The PVDF@SiO2@S2 fibers presented the best photochromic performance.
