Ethylene vinyl-acetate copolymer (EVA) composite materials containing multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), graphene (Gr) and iron (III, IV) oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles where processed by melt blending. Film specimens were prepared by using compression moulding method. All nanoparticles content in samples was chosen equal to 20 wt.%. The material dielectric spectroscopy was used in a range of 10-2 Hz to 107 Hz to investigate nanoparticle effect on the dielectric active (ε’) and passive components (ε’’), specific electrical conductivity (σ’) and dielectric loss (tg) for the characterization of the dissipation of electromagnetic energy.

The article presents naked-eye methods for fast, sensitive, and selective detection of isopentylamine and cadaverine vapours based on 4-N,N-dioctylamino-4′-dicyanovinylazobenzene (CR-528) and 4-N,N-dioctylamino-2′-nitro-4′-dicyanovinylazobenzene (CR-555) dyes immobilized in ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). The reaction of CR-528/EVA and CR-555/EVA indicator layers with isopentylamine vapours caused a vivid colour change from pink/purple to yellow/orange-yellow. Additionally, CR-555/EVA showed colour changes upon exposure to cadaverine. The colour changes were analysed by ultraviolet–visible (UV/VIS) molecular absorption spectroscopy for amine quantification, and the method was partially validated for the detection limit, sensitivity, and linear concentration range. The lowest detection limits were reached with CR-555/EVA indicator layers (0.41 ppm for isopentylamine and 1.80 ppm for cadaverine). The indicator layers based on EVA and dicyanovinyl azobenzene dyes complement the existing library of colorimetric probes for the detection of biogenic amines and show great potential for food quality control.
