Polyurethane foam functionalized with an AIE-active polymer using an ultrasonication-assisted method: preparation and application for the detection of explosives†
Abstract
PU foams modified with an AIE-active polymer (PSiTPE) with a Si–O and TPE backbone using an ultrasonication-assisted method have been prepared. The as-prepared foams show a high sensitive to PA solution and DNT vapor. Moreover, it could be re-used several times. It is a novel promising probe for the detection of explosives.
