The flourenscence quenching concept of poly (1, 4-phenylene-1, 2-DI) (p-phenexyphenyl) (vinylene), dpop-PPV as carbon dioxide gas sensor

Abstract

The potential of dpop-PPV as sensing material for carbon dioxide (CO2) gas detection have been conducted. The studied of sensing properties was based on fluorescence quenching concept. For the characterization of dpop-PPV, the properties of polymer have been carried out by using several instruments. It included Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible Absorption Spectroscopy (UV-VIS), Differential Scanning Calorimetric Analysis (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Result obtained from the studied showed that properties of polymer had been successfully carried out.
