Polymer sensors: a few general points
Chemical and biological sensors based on conjugated polymers

Dr. David BELJONNE and Dr. Jérôme CORNIL work in the Department of New Materials Chemistry at the University of Mons Hainaut in Belgium. Using quantum chemical methods, they study the electronic structure and optical properties of conjugated molecules and polymers.

Sensors are measuring devices capable of selectively recognizing certain chemical or biological molecules and converting this identification process into an electrical, optical or other signal.
