Advanced electrochromic/electrofluorochromic poly(amic acid) toward the colorimetric/fluorometric dual-determination of glycosuria

The electrochromic/electrofluorochromic (EC/EFC) dual-functional polymers have gained intense attention owing to the unique electrochemically induced absorption and emission change simultaneously. Most of the efforts have recently been devoted to improving their EC/EFC performance. However, the practical application studies of the EC/EFC polymers are still in their infancy. Herein, we present a poly(amic acid) based material bearing high solid fluorescence-efficiency AIEgens and electroactive oligoaniline groups, featuring a good electrochromic performance with desirable optical contrast, high coloration efficiency, and outstanding durability. This occurs in tandem with electrofluorochromic behavior with ideal fluorescence contrast and moderate switching speed. By virtue of the versatile electrospinning technique, we manufactured a nanofibrous test strip base on the resultant polymer for glucose determination. The colorimetric/fluorometric dual-determination of glucose is carried out with an obvious color change from gray to dark green, along with a drastic fluorescence change from light to dark, which exhibits numerous advantages of easy operation, rapid detection, favorable selectivity, and unique repeated use feature. Furthermore, the nanofibrous test strips also provide reliable results in the glycosuria test. This strategy shows distinct promise for future sensing applications.

Novel polyamides with pendant p-phenylenediamine and α-/β-substituted naphthalene: synthesis,characteristics, and effects of substitution sites on electro-switchable optical behaviors

Recently, electro-switchable optical materials have attracted much attention for their promising applications in optoelectronic devices and biological analysis. The structures of active optical moieties are dominant for the resulting performance, which raises the requirement of studying their structure-property relationship. In this study, two p-phenylenediamine–based polyamides (α-HPA and β-HPA) containing α-/β-substituted pendant naphthalene were designed and synthesized to investigate the effect of two substitution sites of naphthalene on their thermal, optical, electrochemical, electrochromic, and electrofluorochromic behaviors. Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to help the analysis of the experimental results. The as-prepared polyamides both exhibited excellent solubility, thermal stabilities (no weight loss before 300 °C in air), and optical switching stability (500 cycles). Because of the more twisted conformation and stronger charge transfer effect between diphenylamine and α-substituted naphthalene, the α-HPA exhibited higher glass transition temperature, higher coloration efficiency, weaker fluorescence quantum efficiency, red-shifted emission wavelength, and rapider switching speed than the β-HPA. This study not only presents a deep understanding of substitution sites of fluorophores on the electro-switchable optical behaviors but also demonstrates the tailorability of the electrochromic/electrofluorochromic characteristics through fine structure adjustment, paving a pathway for further development of high-performance electrochromic/electrofluorochromic materials.
