title: Fluorescent polymer coatings with tuneable sensitive range for remote temperature sensing.
abstract: Polymer films of poly(vinyl alcohol) containing the fluorescent dyes 4-aminophthalimide (AP) or 6-propionyl-2-dimethylamino-naphthalene (Prodan) are used as temperature-sensitive fluorescent coatings for remote temperature sensing. Temperature can be obtained by a two-wavelength ratiometric-based emission intensity measurement. The coatings are sensitive in a 100K temperature range that can be tuned by polymer-solute interactions. The usable range is 200-300 K for AP and 280-380 K for Prodan.
