Colorimetric sensor to monitor the temperature with in situ synthesized silver nanoparticles embedded in carboxymethyl cellulose metallogel
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A colorimetric sensing platform based on carboxymethyl cellulose-silver nanoparticles (CMC-AgNPs) metallogel was proposed to monitor the temperature history and quality of perishable products stored at low temperature. The carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) metallogel, fabricated in the presence of Ag+, incorporates ionic crosslinking of biopolymers, complexation between reactants, and subsequent in situ synthesis of AgNPs, which are designed to lead the color transition of metallogel from colorless to dark brown depending on temperature and time. The mechanical and structural properties of metallogels and AgNPs were characterized by rheology, XRD, and FT-IR. Color changes associated with temperature, time, and metal ion precursors were examined by UV–visible spectroscopy and colorimetry. The longer the exposure time to thermal stress condition such as room temperature (25 °C) or high temperature (60 °C), the deeper the color of metallogel. The CMC-AgNPs metallogel-based sensor provides an efficient, safe way to track temperature history and assess perishable products’ quality, crucial for the safe distribution of food, vaccines, and medicines. This cost-effective and reliable visual sensor minimizes spoilage and health risks by enabling accurate temperature monitoring without the need for complicated equipment.
