Photochemical technology of the formation of polymer materials’ nanomarkers

Resumo

A new photochemical technology for forming latent markers, i.e., protective identifiers of different polymer products and other materials, is developed. This technique allows one to encode identifiers of both individual products and lots of different kinds of products. Designed markers can be nanostructured and do not violate the appearance of products. The possibility of forming resistant latent identifiers in a variety of materials is shown that can be performed with fine periodic structure, including nanotechnology. The use of these markers realizes the possibility of developing new design elements of the product with multilevel coding. The proposed technology in combination with the development of ways of reading latent and multilevel information can serve as the basis for the development of a new method of identifying and protecting against the falsification of products, documents, data carriers, and valuable objects.
