Colorimetric Nanofibers as Optical Sensors
TL;DR: In this article, many different strategies have been used and explored for colorimetric nanofibrous sensor design, which are outlined in this feature article, which could provide directions for future research in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blend electrospinning of dye-functionalized chitosan and poly(ε-caprolactone): towards biocompatible pH-sensors
Ella Schoolaert,Iline Steyaert,Gertjan Vancoillie,Jozefien Geltmeyer,Kathleen Lava,Richard Hoogenboom,Karen De Clerck +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, fast responding and user-friendly biocompatible, halochromic nanofibrous sensors are successfully fabricated by incorporating the halochrome dyes Methyl Red and Rose Bengal inside a chitosan/poly(e-caprolactone) matrix.
Blend electrospinning of dye-functionalized chitosan and polycaprolactone: towards biocompatible PH-sensors
TL;DR: It is shown that efficient dye-immobilization with minimal dye-leaching is achieved within the biomedical relevant pH-region, without significantly affecting the halochromic behavior of the dyes, in contrast to the commonly applied dye-doping technique and other dye-imobilization strategies stated in literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waterborne Electrospinning of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) by Control of Environmental Parameters
Ella Schoolaert,Paulien Ryckx,Jozefien Geltmeyer,Samarendra Maji,Paul Van Steenberge,Dagmar R. D'hooge,Richard Hoogenboom,Karen De Clerck +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal combinations of polymer concentratrices and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) are proposed to obtain water-stable nanofibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
