Development of easy read-out, ultrasensitive and reversible optical nanofibrous sensors based on waterborne electrospinning of dyefunctionalized copoly(2-oxazoline)s. Ghent University
Nanofibers are fibers with a diameter that is 1000 times smaller than a human hair. This makes
nanofiber membranes very light and porous, making them ideally suited for sensor applications. By
adding an indicator dye, that is a dye that changes color or fluorescence in reponse to a specific
chemical substance, to the nanofiber membrane, an ultrasensitive optical, chemical sensor is
created. However, to design an ...
