Stimuli-Responsive Materials and Biomimetic Fluidics: Fundamental Building Blocks of Chemical Sensing Platforms with Futuristic Capabilities

摘要

Since the initial breakthroughs in the 1960s and 1970s that led to the development of the glucose biosensor, the oxygen electrode, ion-selective electrodes, and electrochemical/optochemical diagnostic devices, the vision of very reliable, affordable chemical sensors and bio-sensors capable of functioning autonomously for long periods of time (years) remains unrealized.
