研究目的
To fabricate patterned ultrathin films of end-anchored fluorescently-labeled PMMA using selective grafting methods for applications in sensing, light harvesting, or organic electronics.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated a method for creating patterned fluorescent polymer films via grafting to, with potential applications in optoelectronics and sensing. Future work will explore different polymers and effects of grafting density on photophysical properties.
研究不足
Slow diffusion of polymer chains limits grafting density and uniformity; high surface roughness of printed drops prevents precise grafting density measurements; fluorescence quenching occurs in dry state due to dye aggregation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a combination of ARGET ATRP for controlled polymer synthesis and CuAAC click chemistry for end-functionalization. Grafting to method was used for surface attachment, with inkjet printing for patterning.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Silica and glass substrates were used, pre-treated with APTES. Polymers were synthesized from methyl methacrylate monomer.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes GPC for molecular weight analysis, AFM for thickness measurement, confocal microscopy for fluorescence imaging, and inkjet printer for patterning. Materials include PMMA, APTES, fluorescein dye, solvents like anisole, DMF, isopropanol, water, ethanol, glycol.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis of PMMA via ARGET ATRP, end-functionalization with fluorescein using CuAAC, surface modification of substrates with APTES via CVD or inkjet printing, grafting of PMMA-FAM by dip-coating in DMF solution, characterization by AFM and fluorescence microscopy.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
GPC for molecular weight and dispersity, AFM for film thickness and grafting density calculation, fluorescence spectroscopy for confirmation of dye attachment, microscopy for pattern visualization.
