Investigators, chemical/biochemical sensor

The chemical analytical systems or biochemical sensors (up to lab-on-the-chip) required have to be investigated.

Dopable conjugated polymers have been investigated as both chemical and biochemical sensors - wherein changes in electrical conductivity of the polymer provide the device response.Initial efforts in this area dealt with smoke detectors, where the motivation was to elimi-... 

In this chapter, the application of this technique to the thin film processing of electroactive polymers is discussed. The fabrication of controlled molecular assemblies of electroactive polymers provides a unique opportunity to investigate the structure-property and structure-function relationships of multilayer thin films containing electrically conductive, optically nonlinear and redox active polymers. These assemblies can also be coupled to appropriate solid supports for application in such molecular electronic devices as ultrathin electrodes and transistors, opticd waveguides and switches, and chemical and biochemical microelectronic sensors.
