Molecular anchoring of anthracene-based copolymers onto carbon nanotubes: Enhanced pH sensing

The effect of carbon nanotubes on the electrochemical response of the pH sensing, redox-active copolymer poly(vinylanthracene-co-vinylferrocene) has been studied. A clear increase in the linear response of the anthracene moiety with pH is observed in the presence of carbon nanotubes.
