Liquid crystals (LCs), as a promising branch of highly-sensitive, quick-response, and low-
cost materials, are widely applied to the detection of weak external stimuli and have …

Decorating liquid crystals (LCs) with stimuli-responsive materials provides a bridge between
the LCs and the biochemical interactions. The alignments of the LC molecules are …

Liquid crystals (LCs) with stimuli-responsive configuration transition and optical anisotropic
properties have attracted enormous interest in the development of simple and label-free …

We report a novel highly sensitive bile acids (cholic acid and deoxycholic acid) biosensor
based on PVA/SC12S-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystal droplets. These CLC droplets are …

This focused review presents various approaches or formats in which liquid crystals (LCs)
have been used as stimuli-responsive sensors. In these sensors, the LC molecules adopt …

The sensors using liquid crystals (LCs) as the optical signal reporter, ie, the LC-based
sensors, have been considered as new sensing technology suitable for fast-screening and …

Abnormal levels of catalase are implicated in multiple clinical diseases, so it is of great
importance to monitor the levels of catalase in real samples. In this report, a H 2 O 2 …

A cost-effective and label-free optical fiber sensor was proposed to detect phospholipase A
2 (PLA 2) in nM concentration. The sensor is made of an alkoxysilane-modified side …

An innovative voltammetric approach to the detection of cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids
is presented. These two primary bile acids are important biomarkers of liver function in …

Liquid crystals (LCs), as stimuli-responsive soft materials with optical anisotropy, have
shown great potential in the development of LC-based photonic devices. In recent years, the …
