Abstract
Optical oxygen-sensitivity using pyrene carboxylic acid with long alkyl chain (1-pyrenedecanoic acid and 1-pyrenedodecanoic acid) and myristic acid co-chemisorption layer was controlled by varying the molar ratio of myristic acid to pyrene carboxylic acid. The ratio I 0/ I 100, where I 0 and I 100 represent the detected fluorescence intensities from a substrate exposed to 100% argon and 100% oxygen, respectively, is used as an indicator of the sensitivity of the sensing film. At a composition ratio of 1 pyrene carboxylic acid to 10 myristic acids, the I 0/ I 100 attained its maximum value and then the ratio decreased with increase in the molar ratio of myristic acid to pyrene carboxylic acid. The Stern–Volmer constant ( K SV) also attained its maximum value at a composition ratio of one pyrene carboxylic acid to ten myristic acids and then the ratio decreased with increase in the molar ratio of myristic acid to pyrene carboxylic acid. The oxygen-sensitivity of optical sensor using pyrene carboxylic acid is optimized by myristic acid co-chemisorption.
