Tetrathiafulvalene-Capped Hybrid Materials for the Optical Detection of Explosives
2013
[EN] Mesoporous silica microparticles capped with TTF moieties and containing a ruthenium dye in the pores were used for the turn-on optical detection of the nitroaromatic explosives Tetryl and TNT via a selective pore uncapping and release of the entrapped dye.
Optical chemosensors and reagents to detect explosives
2012
[EN] This critical review is focused on examples reported from 1947 to 2010 related to the design of chromo-fluorogenic chemosensors and reagents for explosives (141 references). © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Conical Fiber Probe for Mechanical Stabilization of Microbubbles in Liquids
2020
We demonstrate that a cone pierced in a fiber tip can stabilize microbubles photothermally generated in liquids. Bubbles can stand and monitor pressure shocks over 3.3 bar with a sensitivity below 7 mbar.
Chromatographic Air Analyzer Microsystem for the Selective and Sensitive Detection of Explosive-related Compounds
2014
Abstract The detection of explosives and explosive-related compounds is of major importance for the monitoring of explosive- contaminated sites. Current methods need to become cheaper and portable while maintaining a high sensitivity and selectivity level. In that sense, a silicon micro-analytical platform consisting of a three-dimensional micro-preconcentrator based on a hydrophobic zeolite, coupled to a silicon spiral micro-column was built. A chemical gas sensor acted as a miniaturized gas detector. This system allowed selective detection of orthonitrotoluene (ONT), an explosive-related compound at the sub-ppm level in the presence of toluene and moisture.
