Abstract
Several conjugated polymers have been used for detection of nitro aromatic explosives using transduction techniques. Detection of explosives depends on the properties and structural interactions between the conjugated polymer and the analyte. The rapid and sensitive quenching response of the fluorescent polymers to nitro-containing explosive qualifies them as promising TNT chemosensory materials. Fluorescent conjugated polymer Poly [2-methoxy-5-(3′,7′-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MDMO-PPV) is used for the detection of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) in water has been reported here.
