Abstract

In this study, a simple route for producing self-colored polymers by grafting of chlorotriazine reactive azo dyes to a solvent-based polymer is described. The NH2 groups of acrylic moieties were bonded to electrophilic center of chlorotriazine reactive azo dyes via a bimolecular nucleophile substitution and leaving the chlorine group. Reactive Red 141 and Reactive Yellow 145 were applied on a solvent-based polymer. Therefore, two kinds of self-colored polymers were successfully synthesized. The obtained colored polymers were characterized by FT-IR and DSC spectroscopy.
