Fiber-optics enable direct optical spectroscopy (from the infared to the ultraviolet; in
absorption, emission and plasmonic resonance) to be performed at inaccessible sites, over …

Luminescent films have received great interest for chemo-/bio-sensing applications due to
their distinct advantages over solution-based probes, such as good stability and portability …

Molecular Fluorescence This second edition of the well-established bestseller is completely
updated and revised with approximately 30% additional material, including two new …

Throughout this research, a unique optical sensor for detecting one of the most dangerous
heavy metal ions, Cu (II), was designed and developed. The (4-mercaptophenyl) …

Microbial spoilage of food is accompanied by a pronounced production of carbon dioxide
(CO 2). Sensors that visually highlight the presence of CO 2 inside the food packages can …

We developed a colorimetric and fluorescent turn-on carbon dioxide sensor that relies on a
polydiacetylene, PDA-1, functionalized with amines and imidazolium groups. The pendant …

A new sensor for the fluorescent and colorimetric detection of CO2 is described. The system
utilizes fluoride to activate a tetrapropyl benzobisimidazolium salt and operates in the …

A novel synthetic strategy for high luminescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) based on coffee
Arabica seeds extract (CASE) is presented in this work. We have designed and developed a …

Inter-cluster conversion through the strategic tuning of external stimuli and thereby
modulation of the optical properties of metal nanoclusters (MNCs) is an emerging domain for …

We demonstrate a versatile and easily fabricated paper-based CO2 sensor. The sensor
consists of a specially designed fluorescent color-shift chromophore infused into standard …
