Epoxy Oligomer and Cyclen Polymerization on the Air-Water Interface. Receptor Properties of a Monolayer

摘要

Two-dimensional functional polymer systems have been obtained for the first time based on an epoxy oligomer and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen). The effect of UV radiation on the efficiency of polymerization in the system has been studied. The morphology of polymer materials formed on the liquid surface as a result of thermo- and UV-induced polymerization has been studied. It has been shown that a polymer Langmuir monolayer based on an epoxy oligomer-cyclen mixture can be used as a sensor for copper ions, and the conditions for the system regeneration have been determined. Changes in the pH of the sub- phase have been established as causing structural rearrangements in the polymer monolayer, which lead to changes in the optical properties of the latter.
