We demonstrate the embedding of nanofibers in a polymer matrix through the polymerization of an organogel. A series of organogelators based on a biphenyl ester having two different polymerizable groups, namely, acryl and diacetylene groups, were prepared. These heterobifunctional gelators showed the ability to gelate various monomeric solvents. The photopolymerization of an organogel of a heterobifunctional gelator formed in HMA, was carried out by UV irradiation in the presence of a photoinitiator. The polymerization of HMA formed a polymer matrix, while the polymerization of the acryl and diacetylene groups of the gelator formed nanofibers. The fluorescent polydiacetylene nanofibers embedded in the polymer matrix were visualized by using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The thermal and mechanical properties of the nanofibers embedded polyHMA were investigated. |
