Abstract: | Fluorescent-labeled polymers, carbazole-substituted methylcelluloses (Cz-MCs) were synthesized through a two-step reaction by firstly introducing epoxy group to carbazole, and then reacting with MC. Structure of Cz-MC was characterized by using FTIR, NMR, elemental analysis and UV–vis spectroscopy. Aggregation behavior of Cz-MCs in dilute aqueous solution was investigated by a thermotropic study performed with dynamic laser light scattering. Cz-MCs displayed concentration self-quenching properties of fluorescence spectra both in H2O and DMSO. The temperature effect on the fluorescent emission in dilute aqueous solution was explored. The results showed that the degree of substitution of carbazole and thermal aggregation of Cz-MC contributed to the formation of network structure between the molecules, consequently leading to the enhancement or quenching in fluorescence intensity. |
