A Diverse Color-tunable Luminous Polyurethane Leather Coating Based on Long Persistent Phosphors and Photochromic Spiropyrans

摘要

A diverse color-tunable luminous polyurethane leather coating (CLPU) which can reversibly change color as well as fluorescent emission through the UV-vis or UV-darkness circle was prepared, via covalent incorporation of amino-functionalized phosphors and photochromic 1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-3,3-Dimethylindolino-6'-nitrobenzopyrylospiran (SP). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis absorption spectra, reflectance spectra, fluorescent spectra as well as the migration percentage were measured to characterize the resultant samples structure and properties. In daylight, CLPU appears white before 365 UV irradiation and violet after UV irradiation, due to the transition of the spiro forms of spiropyran to merocyanine forms. In darkness, CLPU emits intense green light before UV irradiation, and the light changes to orange after UV irradiation, due to the phosphors showing pleasant diverse color-tunable luminous effect.
