Abstract

We propose a fabrication method for polydiacetylene (PDA)-embedded hydrogel microfibers on a microfluidic chip. These fibers can be applied to the detection of cyclodextrines (CDs), which are a family of sugar and aluminum ions. PDA, a family of conjugated polymers, has unique characteristics when used for a sensor, because it undergoes a blue-to-red color transition and nonfluorescence-to-fluorescence transition in response to environmental stimulation. PDAs have different sensing characteristics depending on the head group of PCDA. By taking advantage of ionic crosslinking-induced hydrogel formation and the 3D hydrodynamic focusing effect on a microfluidic chip, PCDA-EDEA-derived diacetylene (DA) monomer-embedded microfibers were successfully fabricated. UV irradiation of the fibers afforded blue-colored PDA, and the resulting blue PDA fibers underwent a phase transition to red and emitted red fluorescence upon exposure to CDs and aluminum ions. Their fluorescence intensity varied depending on the CDs and aluminum ion concentrations. This phase transition was also observed when the fibers were dried.

본 연구는 미세유동칩을 이용하여 당의 일종인 cyclodextrine(CD)과 알루미늄 이온 검출이 가능한 polydiacetylene(PDA)이 집적된 미세섬유를 제작하는 방법을 제안한다. PDA는 공액 고분자의 일종으로 외부 자극에 대해 blue-to-red 색 전이 및 형광이 발현되며 원료가 되는 PCDA의 head group에 따라 자극에 대한 감도가 달라지는 매력적인 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 이온간 교차결합으로 야기되는 하이드로젤 형성 메커니즘과 미세유동칩 내 3차원 유체집속효과를 활용하여 PCDA-EDEA 기반의 diacetylene(DA) 단량체가 집적된 센서 섬유를 제작하였다. 섬유 내 DA 단량체는 UV에 의해 파란색의 PDA로 상 전이가 일어나며 CD나 알루미늄 이온에 반응하여 붉은색으로의 색 전이 및 붉은 형광이 발현되는 특성을 보였다. 또한 형광세기는 CD와 금속 이온의 농도에 따라 변화하는 특성을 나타내었다. 이는 미세섬유가 건조된 경우에도 동일하게 관찰되었다.
