Viruses are a major threat to the wellbeing of humans, animals, and plants. The current
diagnostics of viral RNA/DNA are largely dependent on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) …

A series of reversible thermochromic polydiacetylene/zinc (II) ion/zinc oxide (PDA/Zn2+/ZnO)
nanocomposites have been prepared using seven types of diacetylene monomer. The …

This contribution demonstrates the structural-property relationship of diacetylene (DA) and
polydiacetylene (PDA) assemblies in solid state and aqueous suspension. We explore two …

In this work we develop photoreactive cocrystals/salts of a commercially-important
diacetylene, 10, 12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA, 1) and report the first X-ray crystal …

Polydiacetylene (PDA) materials are appealing and gaining increasing research interest
due to their outstanding chromatic transition and fluorescence enhancement effects upon …

This study introduces a simple approach for fine-tuning the sensitivity of polydiacetylene
(PDA)-based colorimetric sensors to UV light and cationic surfactant. The PDA assemblies …

This study introduces a facile approach for fabricating colorimetric sensors that differentiate
concentration and molecular weight of poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA). A cationic …

The topochemical reactivity of diacetylene monomers has long been established and
involves the 1, 4-addition polymerization reaction. This reaction is governed by well-defined …

Abstract Polydiacetylene/zinc (II) ion/zinc oxide (PDA/Zn 2+/ZnO) nanocomposite exhibits
reversible thermochromism and dual colorimetric response to acid/base. This contribution …
