Crossing the divide: Experiences of taking fluorescent PET (photoinduced electron transfer) sensing/switching systems from solution to solid
A. Prasanna de Silva
Abstract
The author's journey from the initial discoveries of fluorescent PET (photoinduced electron transfer) sensors and logic gates to their applications in solid-based devices is outlined. Functional molecules are immobilized on particles, films, fibres, beads and sheets for a range of purposes in analysis and identification, as well as the emulation of animal and computer behaviour.
