Abstract:

Uniform and fluorescent polyurea microspheres(FPU) were synthesized via precipitation polymerization of isophorone diisocyanate in water/acetone mixture, bonding different amount amino-functionalized 1,8-naphthalimide(AABD) as fluorescent chromorephore. The chemical structure of AABD was confirmed by 1H NMR and FTIR spectra. The AABD content in FPU was investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy, and the enhanced properties of FPU was characterized by fluorescent spectroscopy. The results showed that, the uniform FPU microspheres of about 5 μm in diameter exhibited considerable green fluorescence emission at 522 nm when they were excited at 420 nm, and the fluorescence intensity was significant enhacced in comparsion with pure AABD in water or FPU dissolved in N-methyl pyrrolidone at the same concentration of AABD units. A linear decrease in fluorescence intensity of FPU was observed with increased Fe3+ concentration changed from 10-4 mol/L to 10-3 mol/L. This provides a potential application for AABD-containing FPU for Fe3+ determination in aqueous systems.
