Abstract

Detection and identification of VOCs in their vapor phase is essential for safety and quality assessment. In this work, a novel platform of a paper-based polydiacetylene (PDA) colorimetric sensor array is prepared from eight diacetylene monomers, six of which are amphiphilic and the other two are bolaamphiphilic. To fabricate the sensors, monomers are coated onto a filter paper surface using the drop-casting technique and converted to PDAs ...
