Abstract:
Anticounterfeiting materials are neo-advanced materials with utility in covert and security strategies. In this context, a photoluminescent, mechanically robust, and thermally stable hyperbranched polyurethane (PU) nanocomposite was fabricated with oxygeneous-graphitic carbon nitride nanodots. The nanocomposite was characterized using infrared, ultraviolet-visible, and photoluminescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The processed nanocomposite demonstrated improved physico-mechanical stability as well as enhanced thermal stability than the pristine PU. The nanocomposite displayed remarkable photoluminescence under long ultraviolet light (365 nm), courtesy of dispersion of oxygeneous-carbon nitride nanodots in the polymer matrix, without any solid-state quenching. The nanocomposite was consequently employed as an ultraviolet light-detectable anticounterfeiting ink material having reinforcing ability.
