Rational Engineering of Polyfluorene based Conjugated Polymers for Sensing and Antibacterial Applications

Abstract

The content of this report entitled “Rational Engineering of Polyfluorene based Conjugated Polymers for Sensing and Antibacterial Applications” is divided into five chapters. The Chapter 1 provides elaborate introduction about the thesis research topics and includes the scope and significance of the subsequent chapters. In the Chapter 2 the development of benzimidazole functionalized polyfluorene homopolymer (PFBZ) and its specific detection of bilirubin (jaundice biomarker) in the real serum samples as well as the preparation of fluorescence paper-based test kits for onsite bilirubin detection is presented.
