A nanocellulose-dye conjugate for multi-format optical pH-sensing

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Aug 28;50(67):9493-6. doi: 10.1039/c4cc02983f.

Abstract

A pH-sensitive azo-dye covalently grafted onto cellulose nanocrystals yields nanostructured optodes in the form of membranes, sticks, and water-based inks for optical pH detection.
