“…A polymer variant of SAN [12,14,16] with an RI value of 1.5496 RIU at a wavelength of 1052 nm, is used as the polymeric host. To synthesize the sensing film, a carefully-proportioned quantity of the 1,1,2,2,-tetrachloroethane solvent is used to dissolve both cryptophane-A and SAN, as reported in [17]. 10 mg of cryptophane-A in powder form is first dissolved in 2 ml of 1,1,2,2,-tetrachloroethane after which 100 mg of SAN powder are then added.…”
