Abstract

Chemical sensors have targeted various substances. Most sensors electrically amplify signals. Here, we propose a visual detection system that uses a hyperswollen lamellar phase and detects targets in a solution without electric amplification. Amphiphiles with an oligo(ethylene glycol) chain can catch alkali and alkaline earth metal ions and amplify to macroscopic birefringence.
