Combining material science and chemical engineering design for novel and fast optical nanostructured sensors. Ghent University
Due to their high relative surface area, nanofibrous materials obtained via electrospinning have shown to be ideal candidates for high-quality sensors in many sectors, including environmental monitoring, food inspection and biomedicine. The key challenges remain (i) the controlled incorporation of analyte-sensitive dye molecules in the nanofibers via chemical linkage without leaching upon application and (ii) the identification of ...
