摘要:

采用两相Brust-Schiffrin法制备了一系列不同尺寸的含偶氮苯液晶纳米粒子Au@AzoC6-nn为样品序号,n=1~6)。采用核磁共振氢谱(1H NMR)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、热重分析(TGA)、差示扫描量热分析(DSC)、偏光显微镜(POM)和X射线衍射仪(XRD)等技术手段对偶氮苯液晶纳米粒子的组成、相行为以及超分子结构进行了表征。结果表明,所得含偶氮苯液晶纳米粒子Au@AzoC6-nn=1~6)的粒径大小为1.4(±0.1)~6.4(±0.3) nm。该纳米粒子不仅具有优异的热稳定性,通过控制催化剂和两相的含量,能够对其接枝率和粒径进行有效的调控,从而分别堆积成层状、六方柱状相、四方柱状相超分子结构。紫外-可见吸收(UV-Vis)光谱结果表明,尺寸越大的偶氮苯液晶纳米粒子表现出了更快的光响应性,同时该纳米粒子掺入商用液晶中可以实现其光控取向排列。

Abstract:

A series of liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) contained azobenzene (denoted as Au@AzoC6-n NPs (Sample number n=1~6)) with different sizes was successfully prepared by the two-phase Brust?Schiffrin method. The composition, phase behavior and supramolecular structure of LCNPs were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic rensonance 1H NMR experiments, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing microscope (POM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the sizes of the resultant LCNPs are in the range of 1.4(±0.1)~6.4(±0.3) nm. And LCNPs present excellent thermal stability. LCNPs with more azobenzene ligands grafted on the surface of the gold nanoparticles are correspondingly stacked into a supramolecular structure of layered phase, hexagonal columnar phase, and tetragonal columnar phase. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy results show that LCNPs with larger diameter exhibit faster photoresponsibility. Furthermore, incorporating this kind of LCNPs into commercial liquid crystals can realize the light-controlled alignment of nematic liquid crystal molecules.
