Abstract:
Encapsulation of Amberlyst A-26 supported tribromide in a 10,000 MW polyethylene glycol matrix gives a robust colour-sensitive reagent matrix which can be deposited on indium-tin oxide coated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric film for the detection of styrene (and other alkene) vapours.
