Abstract
A series of novel heterocyclic polymers with fluorescent brightening properties are synthesized via Click polymerization. Fast synthesis of poly-1,2,3-triazoles (M (n) ≥ 9.31 kDa) is described herein, with a high yield of up to 95%. The Click polymerization approach has a number of advantages, including facile operation and outstanding isolation yield. The resultant polymers have a high thermal stability, excellent UV resistance, as well as acid and light fastness. On embedding with optical brightening agents, the polymers display strong fluorescent brightening properties in the tetrahydrofuran solution. Moreover, these products have a strong solution emission intensity and extraordinary photostability under UV light.
