Intelligent Polymeric Networks in Biomolecular Sensing

  • Chapter
BioMEMS and Biomedical Nanotechnology

Abstract

Since the development of the first biological sensor over 40 years ago [1], the biosensor field has continuously evolved. Today, biosensors are applied in a wide range of uses, including environmental analysis, medical diagnostics, bioprocess monitoring, and biowarfare agent detection. The success of the biosensor is dependent on the ability to rapidly, sensitively, and selectively recognize various biomolecules, with relative importance dependent on the application.
