Download or read book Organic Semiconductors in Sensor Applications written by Daniel A. Bernards and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-02-25 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organic semiconductors offer unique characteristics which have prompted the application of organic semiconductors and their devices in physical, chemical, and biological sensors. This book covers this emerging field by discussing both optically- and electrically-based sensor concepts. Novel transducers based on organic light-emitting diodes and organic thin-film transistors, as well as systems-on-a-chip architectures are presented. Functionalization techniques are also outlined.
