Polymeric micellar sensor for nitroaromatic pesticide detection
摘要
Polymeric micellar sensor bearing pyrene fluorescence probes was developed to detect trifluralin, a toxic hydrophobic nitroaromatic pesticide, in water. It was prepared from poly(N-(1-pyrenemethyl acrylamide))-ran-poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)acrylamide) (PPMA-ran-PHPA) copolymer, synthesized via post-polymerization modification of poly(pentafluorophenyl acrylate) (PPFPA). Trifluralin interacts with the pyrene units in the copolymer through π-π stacking interaction, leading to fluorescence quenching within 10 min at a low micellar concentration of 0.025 mg/mL. A linear relationship was observed in a range of 2-6 μg/mL with limit of detection (LOD) of 0.8 μg/mL. Additionally, the micellar sensor showed high selectivity against some pesticides and synthetic intermediates.
