Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have developed a new class of stable, water-soluble cationic polymers that possess quantum yields of 14% in water, among the highest ever reported.
The straightforward synthesis of these conjugated polymers and their stability in water make them good candidates for chemical and biological sensor applications. The sensitivity of these polymers to pH in the range between 6 and 7, and the tunability that they exhibit make them ideal candidates for dynamic biological sensing applications. LANL is seeking partners interested in licensing this technology.
