“…The sensors of metallic contaminants in water and their performance have been reported for the case of iron (Pons et al, 2005), arsenic (Toda & Ohba, 2005), chromium (Tao & Sarma, 2006) and other metals (Masàr et al 2009). New organic contamination detection methods and instruments have been widely reported in recent literature (Lucklum et al, 1996); (Bürck et al, 1998); (Rössler et al, 1998); (Yang et al, 1999); (Scharring, 2002); (Yang & Chen, 2002); (Yang & Lee, 2002); (De Melas et al,2003); (Fernàndez-Sànchez et al, 2004); (Kamikawachi et al, 2004); (Sluszny et al, 2004); (Falate et al, 2005); (Pons et al, 2005); (Mauriz et al, 2006); (Rodriguez et al, 2006); (Tao & Sarma, 2006); (Jeon et al, 2009). Optical sensors for bacteria detection and quantification in water have been reported (Ji et al, 2004); (Zourob et al, 2005); (Nakamura et al 2008).…”

“…[6,7] Typically, there are two types of fluorescent chemosensors: small molecule sensors and polymer sensors. Most non-conjugated polymer sensors were synthesized by conventional radical polymerization, [8,9] it is difficult to purify and control its molecular weight, polydispersity, and molecular topology. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) is one of the most promising controlled/living radical polymerization methods that can control the polymer molecular weight and its distribution with the usage of chain transfer agent (CTA), for example, esters disulfide compounds.…”

A series of polymer chemosensors containing naphthalimide signal moiety and imide recognition moiety for the selective detection of fluoride ions (F(-) ) were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymer chemosensors display obvious absorption and fluorescence variations upon the addition of F(-) , which can be observed by both naked eyes and optical responses. The polymers showed higher fluorescence enhancement than its monomer, and the polymers with higher molecular weight have higher sensitivity than those with lower molecular weight. Other halide anions are found to hardly induce any variation of either the absorption or fluorescence spectra.

“…14 On the other hand, Environmental Regulatory Agencies have set industrial stack emission standard of BAP is 0.02 ng m −3 , which is quite difficult to apply even using few methods reported in literature. [11][12][13][14] In this context, it is very much essential to prepare efficient adsorbents for PAHs, and these materials are capable of producing clean extracts for further advanced instrumental analysis.…”

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized using co-polymerization of methacrylic acid with cross-linking agent ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in the presence of benzo(alpha)pyrene (BAP) followed by the extraction of BAP from cross-linked polymer matrix. The MIP formed by this way contains nanopores, which are geometrically specific to the BAP molecule. BAP belongs to one of the carcinogenic airborne atmospheric pollutants. Morphological characteristics of MIP showed presence of nanopores with an average pore diameter of 27.19 A and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 827.87 +/- 1.63 m2g(-1). The adsorption capacity of BAP onto MIP was determined using equilibrium experiments. The cross-reactivity (CR) experiments were also conducted to found selectivity of BAP in the presence of 5 other polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds. The selectivity factors were calculated for MIP, based on experimental data derived from CR studies. It was found that the PAH molecules smaller being in molecular length (pyrene) than BAP, showed higher interference (up to 40%) compared with other PAH compounds. By increasing the concentration of other PAH compounds (100 microg mL(-1)), the selectivity (alpha) of MIP was reduced from 3.5 to 1.6. The value of equilibrium binding constant for BAP, K(E) = 0.236 microg mL(-1), was larger than other PAH compounds (K(E) values range from 0.011 to 0.028 microg mL(-1)). These properties demonstrate that MIP prepared shows greater binding capacity and selectivity due to creation of homogenous nanopores patterned uniformly in the polymer matrix. This method of preparation of ordered materials at micro and nano-scale are useful in the field of nanodevices and sensors for environmental, defense and biomedical applications.
