Résumé

A spatial view of macroscopic polymer material properties, in terms of nanostructure and irregularities, can help to better understand engineering processes such as when materials may fail. However, bridging the gap between the molecular-scale arrangement of polymer chains and the spatially resolved macroscopic properties of a material poses numerous difficulties. Herein, an integrated messenger material that can report on the material micro- to nanostructure and its processes is introduced. It is based on polymer chains labeled with fluorescent dyes that feature Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) dependent on chain conformation and concentration within a host polymer material. These FRET materials are integrated within electrospun polystyrene microfibers, and the FRET is analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Importantly, the use of CLSM allows a spatial view of material nanostructure and irregularities within the microfibers, where changes in FRET are significant when differences in fiber geometries and regularities exist. Furthermore, changes in FRET observed in damaged regions of the fibers indicate changes in polymer conformation and/or concentration as the material changes during compression. The system promises high utility for applications where nano-to-macro communication is needed for a better understanding of material processes.
