Abstract
A fluorescence based sensor () is disclosed and described. The sensor () can include nanofibril materials () fabricated from a linear carbazole oligomer and a fluorescence detector (). The linear carbazole oligomer can have the formula (I) wherein n is 3 to 9, R are independently selected amine sidegroups, and at least one, but not all, R is a C1 to C14 alkyl. The carbazole-based fluorescence based sensors () can be particularly suitable for detection of explosives and volatile nitro compounds.
