Aromatic polyamides or aramids are materials with exceptional thermal and mechanical properties. For this reason, they are considered high-performance materials with many applications in fields such as civil security (bullet-proof body armour or fire...

Working parameters of chemical sensors, such as selectivity and sensitivity, can be adjusted by optimizing components of chemosensitive layers, including type and amount of plasticizer in the case of PVC membranes in optodes. Plasticizers are also us...

Indoor air quality is a topic of major importance for public health. Among the numerous chemical compounds that can be found in indoor air, BTEX (i.e., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) is considered one of the most toxic volatile organic c...

In hydroponic cultivation, monitoring and quantification of nutrients is of paramount importance. Precision agriculture has an urgent need for measuring fertilization and plant nutrient uptake. Reliable, robust and accurate sensors for measuring nitr...

Electrochemical analysis based on screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) represents a great alternative to conventional analytical methods such as ICP-MS or LC-MS due to their portability, sensitivity, selectivity, and cost-effectiveness. In addition, the...

A well-known fluorophore molecule, pyrene was encapsulated into a stable metal organic framework by in situ encapsulation method. The existing metal-organic framework (MOF) called UiO-66 (UiO = University of Oslo) served as host material for pyrene f...

This work demonstrates a hydrogen (H2) sensor at room temperature made of tapered optical fibers coated with a polyaniline (PANI) nanofiber. A transducing platform was constructed using a multimode optical fiber (MMF) with a 125 µm cladding and...

Since the development process of new sensors is long and tedious, it would be very helpful to develop a model that could predict sensor properties based on active compound structure without the actual synthesis and characterization of the correspondi...

Fluorescent compounds have been shown to be useful in probing lipid dynamics, and there is ongoing interest in nontoxic, photostable, and sensitive dyes. Recently, we evaluated a number of 2,7-disubstituted-alkynyl(aryl)-3,6-dimethoxy-9,9-diphenyl si...
