title: Fluorescent amphiphilic cellulose nanoaggregates for sensing trace explosives in aqueous solution.
abstract: A novel fluorescent amphiphilic cellulose nanoaggregates sensing system is designed and applied in detecting explosives in aqueous solution. Due to the maximized interaction between sensing material and analyte within the cellulose-based nanoaggregates, significantly enhanced sensitivity with 50-fold higher quenching efficiency is obtained.
