Colorimetric Stimuli-Responsive Hydrogel Polymers for the Detection of Nerve Agent Surrogates

The threat of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) necessitates the development of functional materials that not only quickly detect the presence of CWAs but also actively protect against their toxicity. We have synthesized responsive units that exhibit colorimetric responses upon exposure to CWAs and inc...
