Abstract
Six dyes were selected based on their molecular structure to test theirsuitability as sensors to characterize the fine structure of cellulosesubstrates. Cotton, mercerized cotton and microcrystalline cellulose werechosento represent a variety of pore structures typically encountered in practicalapplications. Internally available surface areas were calculated. It ispostulated that roughly 25% of the Connolly surface areas (CSA) of the sensorsDirect Blue 1, Direct Blue 14, Direct Blue 53, Direct Red 28, and Direct Red 2and 30% of the CSA of Direct Yellow 4 are representative of the space requiredfor the sensor to dock onto cellulose surfaces. Molecular weight of the dyeprobes does not serve as a good indicator of sensor size. Molecular structureisa critical factor to take into account when selecting a probe.
