Synthesis of Amino Acid-derived Curing Reagents Containing a Disulfide Bond and Their Application to Anionic UV Curing Materials

Abstract

4. Conclusion We have designed and synthesized of a novel molecule, BFBZA, and found that the hybrid amorphous film of BFBZA with BA exhibited reversible change in emission color in response to exhaled breath whereas BFBZA–PFBA film did not change the emission color. In our previous paper [21,23], acidity levels of organic acids were the important factor for providing hybrid films that exhibit reversible changes in object colors and emission colors in response to moisture. The present study suggested that the basicity level of emitting material was also the important factors, that is, the balance of acidity level of organic acid and basicity level of emitting amorphous molecular materials plays a role for exhibiting reversible change in emission color. Further studies are in progress.
