Chapter 5. Organic Sensors
Abstract
The importance of organic materials, with an emphasis on biomaterials, in sensing applications will be illustrated. The devices presented in this chapter are either directly used for sensing organic materials or have organic materials in their structures. Different methods of surface modification techniques, which allow and enhance the interaction of such organic materials with the active areas of transducers, will be presented. The most popular organic sensors will be described next.
