Two experimental techniques have been developed for creating photonic structures in nonlinear optical (NLO) polymers with precisions down to nanoscale. The ®rst technique uses nanoimprinting technology to directly pattern the guest±host NLO polymers. It can be applied to the fabrication of photonic bandgap structures in NLO materials, as well as many other photonic structures in both linear and...

Polymers provide chemical interfaces to electronic nose sensors for detection of volatile organic compounds. An electronic nose combines a properly selected set of sensors (array) with pattern recognition methods for generating information rich odor response patterns and extracting chemical identities. Each sensor in the array is functionalized by a different polymer for diversely selective sor...

Hydrogen-bond acidic polymers are important high affinity materials sensitive to organophosphates in the chemical warfare agent sensor detection process. Interactions between the sensor sensitive materials and chemical warfare agent simulants were studied by inverse gas chromatography. Hydrogen bonded acidic polymers, i.e., BSP3, were prepared for micro-packed columns to examine the interaction...
