Extremely fast and highly selective detection of nitroaromatic explosive vapours using fluorescent polymer thin films.

چکیده
A novel sensing material based on pyrene doped polyethersulfone worm-like structured thin film is developed using a facile technique for detection of nitroaromatic explosive vapours. The formation of π-π stacking in the thin fluorescent film allows a highly sensitive fluorescence quenching which is detectable by the naked eye in a response time of a few seconds.

متن کاملUsing novel fluorescent polymers as sensory materials for above-ground sensing of chemical signature compounds emanating from buried landmines
Chemical vapors originating from the explosive charge within landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) form a chemical “signature” unique to these devices. The fact that canines can detect this signature was a primary motivation for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Dog’s Nose Program. One goal of this program was to develop electronic chemical sensors that mimic the canine’...
متن کاملUnambiguous detection of nitrated explosive vapours by fluorescence quenching of dendrimer films
Unambiguous and selective standoff (non-contact) infield detection of nitro-containing explosives and taggants is an important goal but difficult to achieve with standard analytical techniques. Oxidative fluorescence quenching is emerging as a high sensitivity method for detecting such materials but is prone to false positives—everyday items such as perfumes elicit similar responses. Here we re...

A V-Shaped 4-amino-1,8-napthalimide derived tetracarboxylic acid linker (L; bis-[N-(1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid)]-9,18-methano-1,8-naphthalimide-[b,f][1,5]diazocine) comprising the Tröger's base (TB) structural motif was rationally designed and synthesised to access a nitrogen-rich fluorescent supramolecular coordination polymer. By adopting the straight forward precipitation method, a new lum...
متن کاملConjugated Polymer Sensors: Design Principles towards Enhanced Versatility
A description of how semiconducting fluorescent polymers function as chemosensors for a variety of chemical vapors is presented. Amplification is achieved by transport of optically induced excitations throughout a polymer film. Careful and thoughtful design of polymer chemical structures is crucial to achieving high sensitivity towards nitroaromatic explosives such as trinitrotoluene (TNT) and ...
