Abstract

The present invention relates to a hydrochromic polydiacetylene composite composition, a hydrochromic thin film using same, and a use thereof, and more specifically, to a hydrochromic polydiacetylene composite composition reacting sensitively to moisture, providing the hydrochromic thin film using same, and to applying same to biorecognition or fingerprint recognition. According to the present invention, moisture secreted from a fingerprint or pores on the skin can be detected with high sensitivity. Thus, the position of pores unique to a fingerprint of an organism can be amplified and displayed through selective color change and fluorescent change patterns exhibited when moisture is absorbed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of sensing moisture, comprising: providing a polydiacetylene composite composition including a polydiacetylene polymerized from diacetylene monomers that are complexed with an alkali metal ionic compound to give a diacetylene composite, and
detecting color or fluorescent transition of the polydiacetylene composite composition after exposing the polydiacetylene composite composition to the moisture,
wherein each of the diacetylene monomers is a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula (2), or an mBzA compound in which a benzamide group is incorporated into a diacetylene molecule,
CH3(CH2) m -C≡C—C≡C—(CH2) n -COOH  [Chemical Formula 2]

wherein m+n is an integer of 2 to 50.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal is any one selected from the group consisting of cesium, rubidium, and potassium.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the diacetylene monomers include at least one selected from the group consisting of PCDA (10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid), TCDA (10,12-tricosadiynoic acid), HCDA (8, 10-heneicosadiynoic acid), PCDAmBzA, TCDA-mBzA and HCDA-mBzA.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the diacetylene composite includes at least one selected from the compounds represented by the following Chemical Formula (3), Chemical Formula (4), and Chemical Formula {5}:
CH3-(CH2) m -C≡C—C≡C—(CH2) n -COO(−)Cs(+)  [Chemical Formula 3]

wherein m+n is an integer of 2 to 50,
CH3-(CH2) m -C≡C—C≡C—(CH2) n -COO(−)Rb(+)  [Chemical Formula 4]

wherein m+n is an integer of 2 to 50,
CH3-(CH2) m -C≡C—C≡C—(CH2) n -COO(−)K(+)  [Chemical Formula 5]

wherein m+n is an integer of 2 to 50.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the moisture is included in the atmosphere, and the method is for sensing humidity.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the moisture is sweat secreted from sweat pores, and the method is for sensing sweat pores.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the polydiacetylene composite composition is provided as a layer on a thin film substrate, and the exposing the polydiacetylene composite composition to the sweat secreted from sweat pores is contacting a skin having the sweat pores against the layer.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the skin having sweat pores is included in a finger and has a fingerprint.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polydiacetylene composite composition is provided as a layer on a thin film substrate.
