Using waste expanded polystyrene as the raw material, the azo polymeric dye (I-III) were prepared via nitration, reduction, diazotization and coupling reactions. The structures of the intermediate products and the polymeric dyes obtained were characterized by the FTIR spectra. By UV-Vis absorption spectrum measurements, the relationship among the maximum absorption wavelength, molecular structure and color of polymeric dye was investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
