Oligo(ethylene glycol) chains: applications and advancements in biosensing

Oligo(ethylene glycol) groups have been used as substituents in poly(p-phenyleneethynylene)s (PPEs) to provide solubility, and to boost quantum yield. Properties such as water-solubility and increased quantum yield in aqueous solution make these conjugated systems promising for biosensory applicati...
