Abstract

[Explosive detection has become more relevant today due to increased threats of terrorist activities and chemical warfare. In this context, amplifying fluorescent polymers, AFPs, provide an attractive platform as they are easy to synthesize and exhibit a high fluorescence quantum yield in solid state which is beneficial for a handheld detector. Furthermore, the easy functionalizing of AFPs allows one to introduce various receptors to broaden the scope of detection. The introduction of a “click”able pendant group in AFP enables one to design and develop various biomedical and chemical sensors based on the guest–host chemistry.]
