Abstract

Polydiacetylenes (PDAs) and PDA/ZnO nanocomposites based on the monomers: 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA), 10,12-tricosadiynoic acid (TCDA) and 10,12-docosadiynedioic acid (DCDA) monomers are chromatic chemical sensing agents for selected organic liquids. Thermochromically reversible compositions include PCDA and nanosize ZnO having a particle size range less than 100 nm.
