Novel Optical Oxygen Pressure Sensing Materials: Platinum Porphyrin-Styrene-Trifluoroethylmethacrylate Copolymer Film

Abstract
Poly(styrene-co-trifluoroethylmethacrylate), (poly-styrene -co-TFEM), is synthesized and applied to the matrix of optical oxygen sensing using phosphorescence quenching of PtOEP by oxygen. Stern-Volmer constant of poly-styrene-co-TFEM film is estimated to be 0.39 Torr(-1) (1 Torr = 133.322 Pa) indicating that PtOEP-poly-styrene-co-TFEM film is higher sensitive device for oxygen.
