A Thermoresponsive Fluorogenic Conjugated Polymer for a Temperature Sensor in Microfluidic Devices
A new, microfluidic temperature sensor system, based on a thermo responsive-phase conjugated polymer supramolecule, has been developed. By generating blue polydiacetylene (PDA) sensor droplets using hydrodynamic instability, we were able to monitor the variation of fluorescent intensity of the droplets with respect to the flow temperature.
