Abstract

Conjugated polymers are emerging materials for many modern technologies. One of the attractive applications of conjugated polymers is sensor design, because an environmental change at a single site can affect the properties of the collective system, producing large signal amplification. 1,2 In particular, the detection of biological analytes such as DNA, proteins and biological warfare agents has been receiving wide scale attention recently. 3 Receptors ...
