To sense hydrophilic anions in protic solvents, we fabricated polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) nanofibers incorporating 4-nitrophenyl azo thiourea polymer as a chromoionophore. When methanol solutions containing anions contacted the PMMA nanofiber, a bathochromic shift from 386 nm was observed in the absorption maximum
