Color-change sensor using film for detecting harmful material
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A composite film for a harmful material-detecting sensor, comprising:
- a polymer matrix comprising a dye dispersed in a water-soluble polymer,wherein the polymer matrix is permeable to the harmful material, andwherein the polymer matrix is configured to be resistant to dissolution in water by a wet-annealing process, which thereby induces an increase in a crystallinity of the film.

7. A method for producing a composite for a harmful material-detecting sensor, comprising:
-
adding a dye to a water-soluble polymer solution to obtain an aqueous solution of the water-soluble polymer and the dye; applying the aqueous solution of the water-soluble polymer and the dye onto a substrate to form a composite film; and annealing the composite film as a post-treatment in order to enhance a crystallinity of the film and render the film resistant to dissolution in water. - View Dependent Claims (8)
