Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) films containing different concentrations of perylene (P) chromophores have been prepared by solution-casting and compression-moulding.

Abstract

Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) films containing different concentrations of perylene (P) chromophores have been prepared by solution-casting and compression-moulding. The light emission features of the films depend on P concentration and polymer films deformation. A well-defined band attributed to the formation of micro/ nano-structured perylene chromophoric aggregates is observed with more than 0.1 wt.% of P in the film. The occurrence of this phenomenon changed the emission colour of the films from a bright blue (non- interacting dyes) to low intense pale yellow (interacting dyes) colour. During film drawing the LLDPE macromolecules reorganization is able to break the P supramolecular organization, leading to the prevalence of the blue emission of monomeric P. The optical behaviour of perylene dyes acting as internal stress- strain luminescent indicators for polyethylene films, provides a powerful tool to detect macromolecular organization.
