Polymer Environmental Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates fluorescent dyes to detect changes in the environment.
AboutAbout the lab
Detecting change with dyes that glow in response to their environment.
The Polymer Environmental Science Lab studies fluorescent dyes whose glow changes depending on their surrounding environment.
The research spans photochemistry, analytical chemistry, and organic chemistry, and the dyes are made by organic synthesis.
Using these dyes, the lab creates sensing materials that can detect a variety of external stimuli with high sensitivity and in a simple way.
The lab also works on developing teaching materials and other items that use these dyes.
Key terms
- Fluorescent dye
- A molecule that absorbs light and emits light of a different color. Some change how they glow depending on their surrounding environment.
- Photochemistry
- A field of chemistry that studies the reactions and changes molecules undergo when they receive light.
- Sensing materials
- Materials that receive a target substance or stimulus and signal it through a change in color or light.
ResearchResearch themes
Building on photochemistry, analytical chemistry, and organic chemistry, the lab synthesizes its own fluorescent dyes that respond to their environment. Using these dyes, it works on creating sensing materials that can detect external stimuli with high sensitivity and in a simple way.
