Morphology of Phthalocyanine Nanostructures Localized in the Structure of a Latex Polymer

An analysis of the nanostructure morphology of ionic carboxyl-containing phthalocyanine and tetrasodium salt of Cu(II)-phthalocyanine-tetrasulphonic acid in the structure of latex polymers is carried out using optical and quasi-optical methods: optical microscopy, atomic-force microscopy (AFM), and fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy. The variety of shapes and sizes of the phthalocyanine nanostructures localized in the interparticle space of the latex polymers is analyzed, which determines the difference in their photochemical properties.
