Abstract:
A novel conjugated polymer microsphere of high value for fluorescent sensing in aqueous media has been synthesized. New conjugated polymers were functionalized in the side chain with imidazole moieties (recognition element) and a terminal double bond (covalently linked to an organic matrix) through a post-functionalization strategy.
