Abstract

Herein we report a simple way to improve the thermochromic behavior of polydiacetylene (PCDA) by the incorporation of surfactants. modified by the addition of anionic (SDS), cationic (CTBA) and nonionic (Triton X-100) surfactants in different ratios. Polymerization was performed at room temperature by UV irradiation. We evaluated the effect of surfactant type, concentration, and temperature (25°C, 36°C, and 40°C) on thermochromism. Ideal color transitions (from blue to red at less than 40°C) were done with 0.012g SDS, 0.015g CTBA, and 1ml Triton X-100. SDS-modified PCDA was identified for textiles by CIE-Lab* results, whereas CTBA and Triton-X-100 modified PCDA for as safety indicators and smart packaging applications. Results of particle size analysis shows that SDS form the largest particle sizes with the PCDA polymer, where its D50 is 566.9 µm compared with 1.153 µm and 4. 671 µm for CTBA and Triton respectively. Using DFT calculations, it is determined that there is an increase of energy when adding a surfactant and that electronic properties of PCDA are altered with it, where it shows a decrease in energy gap, which suggests potential uses in thermoelectric materials development, sensors and in measuring temperature
