چکیده
Conducting polymers with a blend of interesting optical and mechanical properties can be used in situations where inorganic materials are not suitable. Synthetic capabilities as well as fabrication techniques have been developed to such an extent that molecular electronic devices based on conducting polymers can be designed, marking evolution of a sophisticated technology in the field of microelectronics. These electro-active conducting polymers cover a broad spectrum of applications from solid-state technology to biotechnology and sensor technology. Present paper addresses the various issues on sensors for chemical and biochemical species.
