Two vapochromic dyes (DMx and DM) were synthesized to be used for textile-based sensors detecting the vapor phase of organic solvents. They were designed to show sensitive color change properties at a low concentration of vapors at room temperature. They were applied to cotton fabrics as a substrate of the textile-based sensors to examine their sensing properties for nine organic solvents frequently used in semiconductor manufacturing processes, such as trichloroethylene, dimethylacetamide, iso-propanol, methanol, n-hexane, ethylacetate, benzene, acetone, and hexamethyldisilazane. The textile sensor exhibited strong sensing properties of polar solvents rather than non-polar solvents. In particular, the detection of dimethylacetamide was the best, showing a color difference of 15.9 for DMx and 26.2 for DM under 300 ppm exposure. Even at the low concentration of 10 ppm of dimethylacetamide, the color change values reached 7.7 and 13.6, respectively, in an hour. The maximum absorption wavelength of the textile sensor was shifted from 580 nm to 550 nm for DMx and 550 nm to 540 nm for DM, respectively, due to dimethylacetamide exposure. The sensing mechanism was considered to depend on solvatochromism, the aggregational properties of the dyes and the adsorption amounts of the solvent vapors on the textile substrates to which the dyes were applied. Finally, the reusability of the textile sensor was tested for 10 cycles.
