Abstract

Optical properties of a azo-dye attached on the surface of the monodisperse silica photonic crystal have been investigated. The azo-chromophore was covalently attached to a 3-isocyanatopropyl triethoxysilane (ICPTES) having isocynate functional group by a urethane bond formation reaction. The resulting disperse red/ICPTES (DRICP) was attached on the surface of the silica photonic crystal by hydrolysis and condensation reactions. The FTIR spectrum of the resulting product DRICP/silica sphere (DRICPSS) shows no characteristic isocynate absorption peak at 2270 cm^-1 and shows a new absorption peat at 1700 cm^-1 corresponding the C=O stretching vibration. This result indicates the complete reaction between –N=C=O and –OH. The DRICPSS has weak brownish color when it is dried. The color of the DRICPSS changed to intense red when it is wetted in methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol. The near infrared absorption maximum at 788 nm shifted to 718 nm for the ICPDRSS after wetting in methanol. This system can be applicable to a sensitive alcohol sensor.
