Preparation and Luminescence Properties of Europium(III) Ternary Complex-modified Poplar Wood-based Materials

Inspired by the ultraviolet induced properties of biological materials, we developed fluorescent wood as a new type of functional material which can be applied to anti-counterfeit label technology and wood-emitting artwork. This study discusses the influence of temperature, time, ligand ratio, and reactant concentration on the structure and properties of fluorescent wood with europium(III) ternary complexes. The surface morphology and fluorescent properties of the modified wood were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescence spectrometry. The results showed that a hig...
