About The Books

The research and development in the field of sensors have greatly expanded in many ways. Here, we will focus on conjugated polymers-based chemical and biological sensors. The function of a sensor is known to detect events or changes in quantiles and generates a corresponding output, thus providing information on our physical, chemical and biological environment. A chemical sensor consists of a physical transducer and a chemically selective layer. A biosensor contains a biological entity such as enzyme, antibody, bacteria, tissue as a recognition agent. Among the materials used in sensor devices, π conjugated polymers have gained tremendous attention due to their potential of exhibiting collective properties that are very sensitive to minor perturbation compared to small molecules. CPs-based sensors can be divided into various schemes based on the kind of signal change they display in response to an analyte interaction. The changes include electrical conductivity, chemical potential, optical absorption widely used and rapidly expanding method in chemical and biological sensing.

The Book is organized as follows. Firstly, we give an overview of various classes of CPs for chemical and biological sensors. Secondly, we discuss various device structures based on two different transduction principles, i. e. Electrochemical technologies, and in particular those employing structures. Membrane science developed continuously as an interdisciplinary science in which polymers have a central role. With the progress of research works dedicated to conductive polymers, researches on conductive polymers initiated chemical, biological sensors and membrane technology d. Membrane Technology.
