  • Publication number: 20030235513
    Abstract: The present invention provides an optical oxygen concentration measurement method and optical oxygen concentration measuring sensor wherein a light-absorbing dye-molecule layer whose absorption spectrum varies depending on the bonding with oxygen molecules is combined with a light-emitting layer, and the oxygen concentration of the ambient fluid can be measured. The light-absorbing layer 4 laminated to an oxygen-quenching light-emitting layer 3 is a film comprising a cobalt-porphyrin complex (CoP) or other light-absorbing dye molecule 7 whose absorption spectrum varies depending on the bonding with oxygen molecules. When the degree of overlap with the light emission spectrum or excitation (absorption) spectrum of the light-emitting layer 3 varies as a result of a variation in the absorption spectrum possessed by the light-absorbing layer 4, the light intensity of output light varies in accordance with the degree of overlap, and the oxygen concentration of the ambient fluid can be measured.

  • Publication number: 20030175511
    Abstract: An oxygen-quenching luminophore constituting part of a pressure-sensitive luminophore is directly bonded by a covalent bond to an organic polymer compound having trimethylsilyl groups, so the luminophore molecules are retained in the polymer and free aggregation is inhibited when the organic solvent is evaporated. It is therefore possible to prevent light response from being reduced by the aggregation of the luminophore molecules during evaporation of the organic solvent, which is a drawback of forming films from conventional mixed-type pressure-sensitive paints. A thin-film sensor with uniform characteristics can be formed by spraying or application from a pressure-sensitive paint obtained by mixing a functional polymer with a solvent. In addition, a coating solution that has high reproducibility and is suitable for spraying or application can be obtained merely by dissolving the functional polymer as a single component in a suitable solvent.
