摘要:

聚乙烯醇缩丁醛(PVB)具有优异的光学透过性和粘附性,被广泛应用于夹层玻璃材料,测定无定形聚合物的玻璃化转变温度(Tg)具有重要意义。 本文通过在PVB分子链上接枝罗丹明B(Rhb)作为荧光探针,结合激光共聚焦显微镜联用荧光寿命成像(FLIM),利用荧光寿命随温度的变化的折点表征PVB材料的Tg,并将测量结果与差示扫描量热法(DSC)的结果相对比,共混质量分数2%的PVB-Rhb测得的Tg和DSC得到的Tg完全吻合,证明荧光法测量Tg的准确性和灵敏性。 同时,将这种方法运用到薄膜体系,系统研究了荧光探针质量分数、样品厚度对Tg的影响,建立了薄膜厚度和Tg的定量关系,发现Tg随PVB薄膜厚度降低而升高。 实验结果证明了FLIM是一种测量聚合物Tg的有力工具,对表征基底支撑的聚合物薄膜样品以及处于特殊空间位置或受限环境的聚合物样品的Tg有突出优势。

Abstract:

Poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) is widely used in laminated glass due to its excellent optical transmittance and adhesion. Measuring the glass transition temperature (Tg) of amorphous polymers is critically important. In this study, rhodamine B was grafted onto PVB chains as a fluorescent probe. By combining laser confocal microscopy with fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), the Tg of PVB was characterized using the intersection point of fluorescence lifetime versus temperature curves. Comparison with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed that the Tg of the blend with mass fraction 2% PVB-Rhb measured by fluorescence lifetime was in perfect agreement with that obtained via DSC, thus verifying the accuracy and sensitivity of the fluorescence method for Tg determination. Concurrently, this method is extended to thin film systems. The effects of fluorescent probe concentration and sample thickness on Tg were systematically investigated, revealing a quantitative correlation between the film thickness and Tg. Tg increased with reduced PVB film thickness. These results demonstrate FLIM as a robust tool for polymer Tg measurement, with advantages for characterization of substrate-supported polymer films and polymers in confined environments.
