This is the first comprehensive review on methods and materials for use in optical sensing of
pH values and on applications of such sensors. The Review starts with an introduction that …

A large number of ex situ sampling techniques have been used traditionally to investigate
the impact and fate of pollutants in soil, sediment and waters. However, the distribution and …

Hydrogel is a unique family of biocompatible materials with growing applications in chemical
and biological sensors. During the past few decades, various hydrogel-based optical ion …

In this work, we describe the synthesis, structural and photophysical characterization of four
novel Pd (II) and Pt (II) complexes bearing tetradentate luminophoric ligands with high …

Polymers are widely used in many areas, but often their individual properties are not
sufficient for use in certain applications. One of the solutions is the creation of polymer …

Difluoroboron β-diketonate poly (lactic acid) materials exhibit both fluorescence (F) and
oxygen sensitive room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP). Introduction of halide heavy …

Research on 3D bioprinting of living cells has strong focus on printable biocompatible
materials and monitoring of cell growth in printed constructs, while cell metabolism is mostly …

In the current water monitoring panorama, certain benefits are expected to arise when the
modus operandum of analysis shifts from sampling-based to purely in-situ approaches …

Tropical seagrasses are nutrient-limited owing to the strong phosphorus fixation capacity of
carbonate-rich sediments, yet they form densely vegetated, multispecies meadows in …

The high population growth rate, massive animal food consumption, fast economic progress,
and limited food resources could lead to a food crisis in the future. There is a huge …
