Halochromic Polymer Nanosensors for Simple Visual Detection of Local pH in Coatings

Abstract: Replacing metallic structures before critical damage is beneficial for safety and for saving energy and resources. One simple approach consists in visually monitoring the early stage of corrosion, and related change of pH, of coated metals. We prepare smart nanoparticle additives for coatings which act as a pH sensor. The nanoparticles are formed with a terpolymer containing two dyes as side chains, acting as donor and acceptor for a FRET process. Real time monitoring of the extent of localized corrosion on me… Show more

“…Thus, pH-sensitive dyes were employed for detecting corrosion and entrapped in micro- or nanoparticles ,,, and nanofibers . The change of pH value generated a significant change of color, , fluorescence intensity, or fluorescence resonance energy transfer . FITC is a dye displaying a pH-dependent fluorescence, which has a high fluorescence quantum yield (Φ 2 f = 0.93 at p K a 6.43) in aqueous solution (see Figure S1a).…”

“…In addition, an interesting feature to be introduced in coatings for anticorrosion is corrosion sensing so that metallic structures can be replaced before critical damage. , This has been achieved by encapsulating various dyes in particles ,,, or fibers that were subsequently embedded in coatings. The coatings displayed then a change of color or an increase/decrease in fluorescence intensity upon change of pH value or the presence of metal ions as a consequence of the corrosion process.…”

“…Over the last few decades, scientists have been working on rewritable paper. Based on molecules and materials that show color change under external stimuli, rewritable paper or materials can be reversibly written and erased under control of pH, heat, light, electricity, oxidant/reductant, solvents, and mechanical force. Therefore, recycling of rewritable paper skips the refabrication from pulp and is environmentally friendly and energy efficient.…”
