Abstract
|
Three hyperbranched aromatic polyesters carrying both internal and exo-presented hydrogen-bond acidic phenol, carboxylic acid, or mixed phenol/acetoxy groups were coated onto 500 MHz surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor platforms, and sensor responses to the nerve agent simulant dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) and the explosives simulant dinitrotoluene (DNT) were studied. All three hyperbranched polyesters gave strong responses to DMMP, and the hyperbranched polyester carrying carboxylic acid groups gave a particularly strong response. The hyperbranched polyester carrying phenol groups gave the best response to DNT of the three polymers studied. The DMMP and DNT responses of the three hyperbranched polyesters were also compared with hyperbranched SAW sensor polymers carrying exo-presented phenolic sensor groups only, and also with linear SAW sensor polymers carrying phenolic sensor groups. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
