Self-Assembly in Sensor Nanotechnology

摘要: Self-assembled fluorescent molecules are powerful materials for wide-ranging applications, particularly analyte sensing and optical imaging. Much research has gone into the development of new fluorogenic molecular probes; however, supramolecular architectures assemblies have not been fully explored. Fluorescent functional dyes ideal candidates design sensors since their fluorescence can be significantly modulated by self-assembly interaction. Various strategies such as recognition without altering self-assembly, analyte-induced disassembly morphology variations used generation a measurable signal, resulting in quantification required analyte. Herein, we discuss recent developments on sensor nanotechnology highlight potential application.
