Moth wing scales as optical pH sensors

We embed individual wing scales from Chrysiridia rhipheus (sunset moth) into pH sensitive interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) of chitosan and PVA to generate novel pH sensors based on “biological physical dye”. The immobilized wing scales’ visible reflectance is responsive to pH conditions, owing...
