Applicants have produced a chromophore and a polymer that are highly sensitive to the presence of various agents, including organophosphates, pesticides, neurotoxins, metal ions, some explosives, and biological toxins. The detection is accomplished by detecting a change in the fluorescence characteristics of the chromophore or polymer when in the presence of the agent to be detected. The chromophore and polymer may be incorporated into sensors of various types, and they are adaptable for potential field use in areas where detection of these types of agents is desired.
申请人已经制备出一种色团和一种聚合物,它们对各种物质的存在具有高度敏感性,包括有机
磷、农药、神经毒素、
金属离子、某些爆炸物和
生物毒素等。通过检测色团或聚合物在存在待检测物质时的荧光特性变化来实现检测。这种色团和聚合物可以被纳入各种类型的传感器中,并且它们适用于在需要检测这些类型物质的领域进行潜在场地使用。
