Abstract

This paper explores the development of sprayable coatings containing Diacetylene amphiphiles for the visual detection of gaseous Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂). Diacetylene-based materials undergo a distinct color change in response to H₂O₂ exposure, offering a simple and intuitive method for detecting this important oxidizing agent. The coatings were fabricated using a facile spray-coating technique, enabling uniform deposition on various substrates. Characterization studies confirmed the successful incorporation of Diacetylene amphiphiles into the coatings and their sensitivity to H₂O₂ vapor. The colorimetric response of the coatings to H₂O₂ exposure was evaluated using spectroscopic techniques, demonstrating their potential for rapid and selective detection of gaseous H₂O₂. Overall, the sprayable coatings represent a promising platform for real-time monitoring of H₂O₂ levels in diverse environmental and industrial settings.
