Abstract
Thioflavin T has been frequently used as a fluorescence sensor for a series of neurodegenerative diseases, biomolecules, and metal ions. Here, a simple covalently linked thioflavin T analog endows pH-responsive characteristic to the polyethylene glycol hydrogels. The pH-dependent swelling ratio and fluorescence intensity provide two different outputs toward pH change making this system suitable for fluorescence monitored biomedical and analytical applications.
