Abstract

Vapor collection systems, including solid phase microextraction (SPME), require the ability to selectively collect and concentrate a sample from a large volume of air. In the case of SPME, polymers are needed to adhere to the fiber for greater reproducibility and longer lasting fibers. The polymerization of carbosilanes was investigated and produced polymers with molecular weights over 500,000. This polymer class was then functionalized with hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) end groups that will selectively sorb hydrogen bond basic vapors. The results of vapor testing with these polymers utilizing a variety of platforms such as preconcentrators, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensors, and microcantilevers will be discussed.
