A Facile Design of Colourimetric Polyurethane Nanofibrous Sensor Containing Natural Indicator Dye for Detecting Ammonia Vapour

Chemicals and industrial gases endanger both human health and the environment. The inhalation of colourless ammonia gas (NH<sub>3</sub>) can cause organ damage or even death in humans. Colourimetric materials are becoming more popular in the search for smart textiles for both fashion and...
