The invention relates to a polymer matrix for optical sensing of pH and/or carbon dioxide, and a process for producing the polymer matrix. Also discussed is an optical sensor for optical sensing of pH and/or carbon dioxide comprising the polymer matrix of the invention and an optical waveguide, and a method for making the optical sensor. The invention further provides a method of measuring the pH and/or the carbon dioxide content of a sample, using the sensor of the invention. The optical sensor is useful in measuring the pH and/or the carbon dioxide content of biological samples such as blood. The polymer matrix comprises a fluorophore (e.g. HPTS), a positively charged counter-ion moiety and a polymeric support, wherein either the fluorophore or the counter-ion moiety is covalently bound to the polymeric support by a polymer linking moiety.
