Polarity induced vapochromic and vapoluminescent properties of cationic poly-3-alkoxythiophene derivatives (PT) casted on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes are reported. PT with six different pendant groups are designed to differentially interact with volatile organic compounds (VOC) of varyi...
