Synthesis and Properties of Fluorescent Polymers

Abstract

Fluorescent monomer α-N-methacrylamide-β-naphthol (NMAMN) was synthesized by Friedel-Crafts reaction and incorporated into its polymers. The structure of α-N-methacrylamide-β-naphthol was optimized through the programme Gauss03 package implementing the 6-31G basis set. The spectroscopic properties were assessed for their effectiveness and the fluorescence intensity of autopolymer was enhanced significantly. Moreover, the fluorescent compounds showed good thermodynamic stability.
