Abstract

Printed and organic electronics has tremendous potential for the realization of new classes of very low-cost, ubiquitously deployable chemical sensors. The ability to cheaply integrate diverse materials through printing of appropriately formulated inks offers the possibility to realize highly integrated electronic nose sensors for such diverse applications as product quality checking, environmental monitoring, and other consumer-focused sensing applications. We review the state of the art in printed organic electronic sensors, discuss the major issues to be resolved, and identify potential pathways to success for this dynamic and rapidly emerging field.
