Development of Highly pH-Sensitive Hybrid Membranes by Simultaneous Electrospinning of Amphiphilic Nanofibers Reinforced with Graphene Oxide
Nanofibrous-based pH sensors have shown promise in a wide range of industrial and medical applications due to their fast response time and good mechanical properties. In the present study, we fabricated pH-sensitive sensors of nanofibrous membranes by electrospinning polyurethane (PU)/poly 2-acrylam...

description | Nanofibrous-based pH sensors have shown promise in a wide range of industrial and medical applications due to their fast response time and good mechanical properties. In the present study, we fabricated pH-sensitive sensors of nanofibrous membranes by electrospinning polyurethane (PU)/poly 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (PAMPS)/graphene oxide (GO) with indicator dyes. The morphology of the electrospun nanofibers was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of hydrophilic polymer ratio and concentration of GO on the sensing response time was investigated. The sensitivity of the membranes was studied over a wide pH range (1–8) in solution tests, with color change measured by calculating total color difference using UV-vis spectroscopy. The membranes were also subjected to vapor tests at three different pH values (1, 4, 8). SEM results show the successful fabrication of bimodal fiber diameter distributions of PU (mean fiber diameter 519 nm) and PAMPS (mean fiber diameter 78 nm). Sensing response time decreased dramatically with increasing concentrations of PAMPS and GO. The hybrid hydrophobic/hydrophilic/GO nanofibrous membranes are capable of instantly responding to changes in solution pH as well as detecting pH changes in chemical vapor solution in as little as 7 s. |
