Abstract:
An aqueous solution is formed by dissolving a dye made of alizarin and a humectant made of glycerin, and alkalized by dissolving a base (alkaline substance), thereby preparing a detector solution (101) in which the content of the humectant is about 20 wt %. An impregnated carrier (104) impregnated with the detector solution (101) is formed by dipping for 30 sec a sheet-like carrier (103) made of cellulose filter paper in the detector solution (101) so that the carrier (103) is impregnated with the detector solution (101). The impregnated carrier (104) is pulled up from the detector solution (101), and dried in dry nitrogen by evaporating a solvent such as water contained in the impregnated carrier (104), thereby forming an ozone detecting device (105).
Abstract:
A sensing element in which a dye that changes in the light absorption characteristic of the visible region upon reaction with ozone gas is deposited in the pores of a porous material is prepared. A change in dye before and after exposing the sensing element to a measurement environment for a predetermined time is measured. The ozone gas amount in measurement target air is measured on the basis of the change in dye.

Abstract:
A sensing element (102) includes a porous material (121) which is porous glass having a plurality of fine pores (122) having an average pore size of 4 μm, a sensing agent (123) formed in the pores (122), and a selective permeable film (124) which is formed to cover the surface of the porous material (121) and made of a plastic film. The selective permeable film (124) is made of an organic polymer such as polyacrylonitrile or PMMA which uses, as a monomer, a compound made of a chainlike molecule containing a vinyl group, and has a film thickness of about 0.05 to 1 μm.
Abstract:
A polyimide optical waveguide comprising a core made of polyimide whose refractive index is controlled to a predetermined value by electron beam irradiation, and a cladding set in contact with the core and having a refractive index lower than that of the core.
Abstract:
A vessel (102) containing a detector solution (101) is prepared. The detector solution (101) is an aqueous solution prepared by dissolving a detector component containing a dye which changes its color when reacting with ozone gas, a humectant, and an ultraviolet absorber having a hydrophilic group. A prepared sheet-like carrier (103) is dipped in the detector solution (101) for, e.g., 30 sec, thereby forming an impregnated sheet (104) by impregnating the sheet-like carrier (103) with the detector solution (101). The impregnated sheet (104) is then dried by evaporating the solvent (medium) such as water contained in the impregnated sheet (104), thereby forming a sheet-like ozone detecting device (105).
Abstract:
In this invention, a mixture of a diazotizing reagent which reacts with nitrous ions to produce a diazo compound, a coupling reagent which couples with a diazo compound to produce an azo dye, and an acid is placed in pores of a transparent porous body to prepare a sensor element. Nitrogen dioxide gas is sensed in accordance with a color change before and after the sensor element is exposed to air to be measured for a predetermined time.
