from their design to practical applications
This book, 'Sensory Polymers: From their Design to Practical Applications,' edited by José Miguel García, Saul Vallejos, and Miriam Trigo-López from the Department of Chemistry at Universidad de Burgos, provides a comprehensive exploration of sensory polymers. It covers their design and numerous practical applications in various fields. The book delves into the foundational concepts of sensory polymers, including molecular recognition and different types of transduction. It highlights advanced applications such as sensors based on conjugated polymers, molecularly imprinted polymers, colorimetric and fluorogenic sensors, and polymer-based biosensors. Aimed at researchers and practitioners in polymer science and sensor technology, the book discusses the integration of sensory polymers in lab-on-a-chip devices and gas sensing applications. It also addresses the challenges and future prospects of these innovative materials.
