Fluorescent sensing copolymers: Synthesis, nanofiber fabrication and application in picric acid sensors.

ABSTRACT: Increasing attention has been paid to the detection of explosives due to the occurrence of terrorist attacks around the world. Here, we used free radical polymerization to develop two different types of fluorescent copolymers for use in detecting picric acid. One exhibits aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and is called PNNS [poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide -co-styrene-pyrene), poly (NIPAAm-co-NMA-co-St-Py)]. The other possesses aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties and is called PNNP [poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide-co-2-(1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenyl-1H-silol-1-yloxy) ethyl methacrylate), poly (NIPAAm-co-NMA-co-PPS-HEMA)].
