CoPU films with different complexing ratios were synthesized by coordination modification experiments on polyurethane using cobalt chloride as the complexing agent. In view of the phenomena that the colour of CoPU film changed from blue to pink and the transparency decreased during the process of storage in a humidity environment, the FT-IR spectra and the humidity response of the transmittance were studied. The results show that CoPU films absorb water to form a coordinated crystalline water structure in the humidity environment, and the cobalt ion configuration changes from sp3 tetrahedron state to d2sp3 octahedron state, resulting in the change of colour and transparency. This process is reversible. Meanwhile, there is a good linear relationship between the moisture absorptivity and the average transmittance of the visible light region of the low complexing ratio material films, which has application prospects of photosensitive humidity-responsive polyurethane materials.
