Article Abstract
In this study, we report a novel, eco-friendly optical fiber biosensor for tamoxifen (TAM) detection, featuring a single functional layer of cerium dioxide (CeO) nanoparticles integrated with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). The CeO nanoparticles were synthesized via a green chemistry route using oak fruit extract, yielding nanomaterials with a high refractive index and excellent charge-transfer properties. These unique optical features of CeO significantly enhance the lossy mode resonance (LMR) phenomenon by strengthening the fiber's evanescent field, resulting in improved sensitivity and resonance stability. The MIP, synthesized through a facile, surfactant-free, one-step polymerization of polystyrene spheres, serves as the selective recognition layer, ensuring targeted binding of TAM without interfering with the LMR optical response. The MIP/CeO nanocomposite was uniformly coated onto a curved optical fiber surface, and the resulting sensor was thoroughly characterized using FESEM, XRD, AFM, FT-IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. These analyses confirmed the successful formation of a porous, TAM-selective MIP layer and the effective incorporation of CeO nanoparticles. The sensor demonstrated rapid adsorption/desorption kinetics and high permeability, enabling swift and sensitive TAM detection. Under optimal conditions, the LMR-based fiber optic sensor achieved a sensitivity of 12.052 nm/[Formula: see text]M with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.988. The proposed biosensor shows strong potential for sensitive, selective, and sustainable detection of tamoxifen in pharmaceutical and clinical applications.

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-based complex topological copolymers have attracted a great deal of attention for their unique electrical and optical properties. In this contribution, the P3HT-based Janus fibers with controlled lengths were innovatively prepared by sequential crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) of poly(--butylstyrene)--polyisoprene--poly(3-hexylthiophene) (PBS--PI--P3HT) triblock copolymer, cross-linking of the interlayer PI region, and dissociation of fibers in good solvent. The comprehensive characterizations showed that the PBS/P3HT Janus fibers have nearly half the width of PBS--PI--P3HT fibers and fiber lengths close to or slightly shorter than those of PBS--PI--P3HT fibers, indicating that the Janus fibers with adjustable lengths could be prepared in a large window range.

Incorporating atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials with optical fibers expands their potential for optoelectronic applications. Recent advancements in chemical vapor deposition have enabled the batch production of these hybrid fibers, paving the way for practical implementation. However, their functionality remains constrained by the integration of a single 2D material, restricting their versatile performance.
