Abstract An effective method for tuning fluorescent response of an ultrathin (5 nm) polymer film, which can be used generation sensing arrays, is reported. This distinctive in that the modification optical achieved with grafting a non‐fluorescent to film. Using this approach, number films demonstrating different emission when exposed solvent vapors were synthesized.
