Abstract

The development of Ultraviolet (UV) shielding materials are of great importance to protect human's health concerns and prevent the degradation of organic matters. However, the synthesis of highly efficient UV shielding polymer nanocomposites is currently limited by the agglomeration of inorganic anti-UV nanoparticles (NPs) within the polymer matrix and limited absorption spectrum of UV shielding agents. In this study, highly effective manganese doped carbon quantum dots@halloysite nanotubes composites (Mn-CDs@HNTs/PAS) were successfully synthesized by loading manganese doped carbon quantum dot (Mn-CDs) into UV shielding effective halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) via solvothermal method, followed by polymerization modification. The results show that inorganic NPs are evenly dispersed into polymer matrix. The resulting UV shielding film prepared by mixing Mn-CDs@HNTs/PAS composites with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) shows enhanced UV absorption property and thermal stability than pure PVC film. It thus appears that Mn-CDs@HNTs/PAS composites have a promising future in the UV protection areas.
