Definitions
- the invention relates to a sensor element for determining ozone concentrations and to a sensor which contains at least one of these sensor elements.
- conductivity sensors based on Sn0 2 can be used to detect ozone, as disclosed, for example, in EP-A-0 31 1 439.
- the electrical resistance changes due to chemisorption of the ozone on the SnO 2 surface.
- a disadvantage of this analysis method is the cross sensitivity to almost all oxidative gases, as well as the strong temperature sensitivity of these sensors, which have to be heated to approx. 400 ° C.
- ozone can be determined spectroscopically on the basis of its absorption at 253.7 nm (VDI guideline: VDI 2468; VDI manual, keeping the air clean, volume 5).
- VDI guideline VDI 2468; VDI manual, keeping the air clean, volume 5.
- the disadvantage of this analysis method is the cross sensitivity to hydrocarbons, which also absorb in this frequency range. It is therefore customary to carry out a so-called zero-air measurement in a parallel measurement in a second measurement channel. H. to carry out an absorption measurement on an otherwise identical gas sample which was only selectively freed from the ozone. With the help of this reference measurement, the proportion of cross-sensitive gases can be determined and eliminated. Because of the necessity to always have to carry out a reference measurement, such a measuring device is complex, expensive, sensitive and voluminous.
- ozone can be determined gravimetrically by selectively binding it to a polymer layer located on a quartz crystal.
- the adsorption causes an increase in mass, which can be measured by changing the resonance frequency of the quartz crystal.
- One of the disadvantages of this method is the sensitivity to external interference, especially mechanical shocks.
- ozone can be detected colorimetrically with a sulfophthaleinf arbstof f.
- a disadvantage of this measuring system is that the sulfophthalein is only effective in its alkaline form, i.e. H. that acidic ozone-containing air cannot be demonstrated that the dye has to be impregnated on a powder (e.g. silica gel) and that a concentration can only be determined by comparison with a calibrated color scale.
- This system also ages in air, so that it has to be filled with protective gas between measurements.
- ozone can be colorimetrically measured in an indigo dye (Tekh. Misul (1988), 25 (2), 59-60) or Acid Chrome Violet K (Ozone: Sei. Eng. (1989), 1 1 (2), 209- 1 5) containing solution can be determined.
- indigo dye Tekh. Misul (1988), 25 (2), 59-60
- Acid Chrome Violet K Ozone: Sei. Eng. (1989), 1 1 (2), 209- 1 5 5
- the disadvantage here is that the measurements must be carried out in a liquid medium, which makes the devices difficult to handle.
- these systems show a strong cross-sensitivity to other contaminants in the solvent.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to provide a new, simple, sensitive, inexpensive and compact sensor element and a sensor for determining ozone concentrations which do not have the disadvantages known from the prior art.
- a sensor element for determining ozone concentrations which is characterized in that it contains at least one dye (chromophore), preferably in solid form, which has conjugated double bonds and which is contained in a polymer layer which has at least one polymer , wherein preferably at least one of the conjugated double bonds is olefinic.
- chromophore preferably in solid form, which has conjugated double bonds and which is contained in a polymer layer which has at least one polymer , wherein preferably at least one of the conjugated double bonds is olefinic.
- dye-containing polymers compared to e.g. pure dyes is that the sensitivity to the effects of ozone can be improved or adapted to the requirements. It has been found that by introducing the dye into polymers it is possible to produce layers which on the one hand contain sufficiently high amounts of dye and on the other hand have the necessary permeability for ozone so that the dye molecules within the layer can be reached by ozone.
- dye-containing polymers compared to, for example, pure dyes is that they are generally easier to process. This is a great advantage if special sensitive readout methods are to be used that place special demands on a layer containing dye, such as special geometric shapes, a layer thickness that must be strictly adhered to, uniformity, absence of light scattering centers and transparency.
- the sensor according to the invention contains at least one sensor element according to the invention and at least one readout system into which at least one sensor element is integrated.
- dye-containing polymers are those polymers in which a dye group is attached as a side group to a polymer chain or is located in the main chain of the polymer.
- the dye can also be dispersed or dissolved in a polymer or in a polymer mixture.
- the choice of the suitable polymer or the polymer mixture depends on the special requirements.
- the selection criteria result e.g. from the required solubility of the dye used in the polymer, from the required permeability to ozone, or from the desired temperature stability, mechanical strength and from the required optical properties.
- the dye-containing polymers change their optical properties in the presence of ozone and allow a quantitative determination of ozone simply by measuring these changes.
- Mixtures can also be used when using dye-containing polymers of these can be used with other polymers that do not necessarily also contain a chromophore. This makes it possible, for example, to specifically influence the system's absorbance and its mechanical and elastic properties and the degree of crystallization as well as the permeation properties.
- polymers examples include polyimides, polysiloxanes, polyesters, polyacrylates, polymethacrylates and polyolefins.
- the invention is not restricted to these polymers.
- polymers are suitable which have an average molecular weight of 500 to 5,000,000, preferably 10,000 to 500,000, in particular 10,000 to 200,000.
- plasticizers it may be advantageous to add plasticizers to the dye-containing polymer in order to improve the mechanical properties and permeation behavior, or else to improve the solubility of the dye in the polymer, in the event that the dye is dissolved in the polymer is introduced.
- All plasticizers used in plastics are suitable as plasticizers, e.g. Phthalates and cresols, the vapor pressure of which is sufficiently low that no significant evaporation from the polymer occurs, and the solubility of which can have a positive effect on the polymer properties.
- dyes are suitable whose absorption maximum is in the range from 300 nm to 1200 nm, preferably from 350 nm to 700 nm, in particular from 400 nm to 500 nm.
- a preferred sensor element contains the dye-containing polymer as one of its components or even consists entirely of it.
- the shape of the polymer and the type of further constituents which may be used depend, inter alia, on how the change in the optical properties under the action of ozone is to be measured.
- the sensor element can consist entirely of the dye-containing polymer if, for example, a molded body suitable for the intended use, e.g. a film, a fiber or a body with another suitable geometric shape is produced. Production methods suitable for this are known in principle to the person skilled in the art. For example, casting processes from solution, injection molding, extrusion and spinning processes can be used.
- the dye-containing polymer is part of the sensor element
- further constituents are in particular carrier materials for the dye-containing polymer.
- carrier materials for the dye-containing polymer.
- plates, foils, fibers or other shaped bodies can be used as supports. These can consist of glass, plastic, metal and / or other transparent, reflective or light-scattering carrier materials. In some cases it can be advantageous to provide the carriers with dielectric layers.
- the supports are coated with the dye-containing polymer.
- the supports can be provided with other porous coatings beforehand.
- These porous coatings can contain, for example, particles of titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide or other materials that are suitable optical Properties and have a high specific, open-pore surface.
- the carriers can be coated in different ways. Suitable processes for this are known to the person skilled in the art. For the production of extremely thin and even layers, e.g. the Langmuir-Blodgett technique is particularly suitable. However, adsorption layers can also be produced by immersing the support in a solution of the dye-containing polymer. Other suitable processes are dip and flow coating, lamination, knife coating and printing, with screen printing and spray coating in particular being mentioned here.
- the thickness of the applied layer of the dye-containing polymer is preferably between 2 nm and 500 ⁇ m, particularly preferably in the range from 10 nm to 20 ⁇ m and in particular in the range from 20 nm to 5 ⁇ m.
- the sensor element according to the invention can, for example, flow in a flow cell with a defined volume flow of ozone-containing air or simply be exposed to the ozone-containing air.
- the dyes in the sensor element change their optical properties in the presence of ozone.
- the change can e.g. can be detected by determining the optical absorption. How to proceed is known in principle to the person skilled in the art. This can e.g. happen that the sensor element is irradiated by light, the wavelength of which is in the range of dye absorption.
- the change in the absorption behavior due to the effect of ozone can then be measured by determining the change in intensity of the light passing through.
- the invention consequently also relates to a method for determining ozone concentrations using at least one according to the invention Sensor element, which is characterized in that the concentration is determined by changing the optical properties, preferably the absorption.
- an optical arrangement is selected for the measurement, which determines a change in light that is reflected on the sensor element.
- a reflective plate e.g. of silicon
- the thickness of this layer is dimensioned such that interference amplification occurs for a certain range of the angle of incidence of the light impinging on the layer.
- Such an arrangement typically uses monochromatic, linearly polarized light. This provides a particularly sensitive measurement of the change in optical properties due to the influence of ozone. The person skilled in the art knows how such a measuring arrangement is to be carried out in detail.
- the change in the optical properties can be determined on the basis of the attenuation of evanescent waves from optical fibers.
- the sensor element is designed in the form of a planar, a stripe-shaped or a fibrous optical waveguide, in which the otherwise usually present waveguide sheath is completely or partially removed and replaced by the dye-containing polymer, so that evanescent waves reach the area of the dye from the waveguide core and can be weakened. If light is now conducted in the waveguide, the wavelength of which lies in the region of the dye absorption, a change in the dye properties has an effect on the waveguide attenuation and can be detected easily and sensitively.
- the sensor element according to the invention usually contains a thin metal layer, for example made of gold or silver, which in turn is provided with a layer of the dye-containing polymer.
- a thin metal layer for example made of gold or silver
- the dye-containing polymer under defined conditions, which depend on the detailed design of the arrangement, surface plasmons can be excited in the metal layer, which have an effect, for example, in that a light beam impinging on the sensor element is reflected with a significantly reduced intensity, part of the energy of the impinging light beam being used Excitation of the surface plasmons is used.
- the conditions under which this is the case are sensitively influenced by the dye properties on the metal layer and serve as an easily determinable and sensitive measure of their change.
- a measure of the ozone concentration in the air to which the sensor element was exposed is obtained from the change in the optical properties of the dye-containing polymer, which can be determined by continuous measurements or, for example, by two measurements in succession.
- a glass plate (25 mm x 75 mm, 1 mm thick) is coated on both sides in the same way as in Example 1 and dried in the drying cabinet at approx. 80 ° C. for about 15 minutes.

- the solution is spun onto cleaned glass substrates (microscope slides) with a size of 37.5 mm x 25 mm at a speed of 100 revolutions per minute.
- the films are then freed from solvent residues by heating on a hot plate at approx. 100 ° C.
- a support coated in this way is mounted in the test chamber of a spectrophotometer (Perkin-Elmer Lambda 9) in the measuring beam. Is in the reference beam uncoated carrier mounted.
- the measuring chamber is flushed with ozone-enriched air, with an estimated concentration of approx. 2 ppm.
- the absorption spectrum of the polymer films is measured before exposure to ozone and repeatedly during exposure to ozone. A significant decrease in the absorbance of the polymers under the influence of ozone can be found within minutes.
- the absorption spectra are shown in Fig. 1.
- the chamber is ventilated and the flow of ozone is interrupted. Without the influence of ozone, no decrease in absorption by light irradiation can be observed. Similarly, no change in the rate of degradation can be observed when the sample is exposed to ozone under radiation or in the dark.
- a support coated according to Example 3 at 1000 revolutions per minute is mounted in the measuring beam of the sample chamber of the spectrophotometer.

With this mixture, a squeegee film is produced on a glass plate (25 mm x 75 mm, 1 mm thick) with a wet film thickness of approx. 10 ⁇ m. The coated glass plate is placed on a hot plate at a temperature of 70 ° C. for 5 minutes. After this, a uniform dye-polymer film is obtained on the glass plate.

- the measuring chamber is flushed with ozone-free air for a few minutes.
- the measuring chamber is filled with air containing ozone for approx. 55 minutes (Ozone concentration between 0.6 ppm and 0.7 ppm) rinsed.
- the chamber is then flushed with ozone-free air for about 35 minutes and then flushed again with ozone-mixed air (ozone concentration 0.7 ppm) for about 25 minutes.
- FIG. 4 shows as a plotter diagram the time course of the light transmission and the ozone concentration in the measuring chamber.
- absorption (absorption (in%) 100 - transmission) at times of ozone exposure. It can also be seen that the absorption does not change when the measuring chamber is flushed with ozone-free air.
- Example 8 The glass plates in the measuring chamber are then subjected to measurements one after the other in accordance with Example 6, in which the measuring chamber is flushed with ozone-mixed air of different concentrations.

Due to the effects of ozone with different concentrations, there are different initial rates for the decrease in dye absorption (measured at 450 nm). In the first case, the initial rate of 0.23% per minute and in the second case 0.32% per minute in each case based on the light intensity I 0 prior to the glass plate without absorption.
