| 摘要 |
A sensor for high explosives, comprising a thin layer of fluorescent polymer covalently linked to a silica support with an oxide surface. The support preferably is a silica support, and in a preferred embodiment is a silica chromatographic support. In preferred embodiments, the fluorescent polymer is one or a few monolayers. A preferred embodiment sensor for high explosives is fluorescent polymer within or upon a porous nanostructure. In preferred embodiments the nanostructure is a porous silica nanoparticle. Embodiments of the invention provide methods, sensors, sensor kits, and sensor fabrication processes that enable detecting traces of high explosives by fluorescence quenching in combination with a chromatographic separation. A method for forming a sensor for high explosives includes preparing a fluorescent polymer, capping the reactive polymer with a reactive capping group that covalently reacts with hydroxide groups, and reacting the reactive capping group with surface hydroxides of an oxide support. |
