Abstract

This study aims at thermal and morphological features, as well as the degree of conversion these luminescent polymers obtained using a dimethacrylate monomer, and quinoline dyes as photoinitiator. The photoinitiators provide a fluorescent propriety to the final polymer. Thermal properties such as thermal stability, steps of mass loss, and glass transition are obtained by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis and derivative thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry. Using the mid-infrared spectroscopy, it is possible to calculate the degree of conversion/rate of polymerization; the data indicate that the quinoline derivatives could be used as photoinitiators in lower concentration (0.1%) resulting in solid rigid polymers with higher conversion (74.24, 71.81, 66.36, and 61.09%). The morphological characteristics of polymers are analyzed by scanning electronic microscopy. Finally, solid ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) analysis shows a bathochromic shift, due to the stabilization of the molecules in the solid state, compared to liquid UV-vis analysis.
