Aqueous polymeric sensors based on temperature-induced polymer phase transitions and solvatochromic dyes

Abstract

This feature article provides, for the first time, an overview of the research that guided the way from fundamental studies of the thermo-responsive phase separation of aqueous polymer solutions to polymeric sensor systems. The incorporation of solvatochromic dyes into thermoresponsive polymers as well as the concepts of polymeric sensors are presented and discussed in detail.
