Water-soluble polymers, solid polymer membranes, and coated fibres as smart sensory materials for the naked eye detection and quantification of TNT in aqueous media

This study developed sensory polymeric materials for the colorimetric sensing of TNT in aqueous media. Solid films and coated fabrics permitted the detection of TNT, through colour change, and its quantification, by taking a picture of the materials and processing their RGB parameters to define the evolved colour.
