ABSTRACT
Chemical sensors have become an important technology in chemical measurement. These analytical devices provide a simple, rapid and reliable means for the detection and quantitation of specific chemical species. This technology has enabled the continuous measurement of a marker substance, and provided a basis for the development of intelligent instrumentation systems.
Chemical Sensors combine a molecular recognition element with a transducer in order to produce an electronic signal in the presence of a particular analyte. Polymers are used in
