Chem Soc Rev. 2011 Jan;40(1):79-93. doi: 10.1039/c0cs00058b. Epub 2010 Nov 25.

Abstract

Recently, fluorescent or colorimetric chemosensors based on polymers have attracted great attention due to several important advantages, such as their simplicity of use, signal amplification, easy fabrication into devices, and combination of different outputs, etc. This tutorial review will cover polymer-based optical chemosensors from 2007 to 2010.
