Abstract
The effects of the chemical and phase composition of acrylonitrile and alkyl methacrylate (Alkyl-MA) copolymers with styrene sulfonates (SS) of triphenylmethane dye cations on the gas permeability and sensing properties of their films were studied for developing an optical chemical sensor (OCS) for sulfur dioxide (SO2) on the basis of functional polymers. Of the three triphenylmethane dyes tested, namely, fuchsine, Crystal Violet, and Brilliant Green (BG), only the last dye was selected for molecular design. It was shown that the copolymer of Decyl-MA with SS—BG with the degree of modification DM = 0.10 is the best material among the studied ones from the viewpoints of sensitivity, response time, and time stability of sensor characteristics. The conditions for fabricating polymer films and the parameters of their functioning in OCSs for SO2 were optimized. The effect of annealing conditions on the sensitivity of spectra to SO2 was studied. Working temperature, working wavelength, and the conditions for the regeneration of the initial spectral parameters were optimized. Calibration characteristics of OCSs for the dynamic admittance of SO2—air mixtures were obtained. The calculated detection limit for SO2 in an air flow for a sensor with a sensing film fabricated of the decyl-MA—SS—BG copolymer with DM = 0.10 was 0.16 vol %, or 4160 mg/m3. This points to the necessity of searching for more sensitive sensing materials among other classes of functional polymers.
