Optical Sensor Materials for Textiles, Food Packaging and Cellular Research The development of optical chemical sensor materials for the selective detection of analyte ions and molecules will be described. Indicator dyes are immobilised into polymers and nanoparticles as well as into textiles. Both absorbance and fluorescence changes are used to detect analytes such as pH and ATP in cells, or oxygen and amines in meat. |
