| Abstract | A chemosensor design is presented which substantially amplifies the output of a pH-sensitive fluorophore using energy harvested from a conjugated polymer. The construction of thin films was accomplished via layer-by-layer deposition of a new water-sol., cationic poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) (PPE) and an anionic polyacrylate. [on SciFinder(R)] |
