An important recent development in the field of optical sensors is the increasing use of colorimetric nanofibers toward ultrasensitive but user‐friendly devices. An overview of several techniques used to produce colorimetric nanofibrous sensors is provided by Ella Schoolaert, Richard Hoogenboom, and Karen De Clerck in article number 1702646 . By combining electrospinning with chromogenic agents, specificity for a highly diverse range of analytes can be obtained.
