Electrochemical sensors and biosensors have
found broad extensive applications in assorted ventures off late. These days,
many analytical instruments used
in environmental, food, pharmaceutical, or clinical laboratories and
furthermore most of the commercial point-of-care devices work using
chemical sensors or biosensors. Day by day, the numbers
of sensors or biosensors coming from
the bench of research laboratories to the shelf of the commercial markets are
increasing. Due to the high demand of the world market and human interest for
having a device to check the concentration of species in different samples,
simple and fast, in recent years, a hard competition on design and construct of
new sensors and biosensors have occurred among the
researchers.
Currently, researches in this
field focus on the development of novel sensor materials,
advanced biosensors and devices using a variety
of inputs for diverse applications including environmental and safety
monitoring, diagnostics and wearable electronics. Also, they are
employed in observing the surroundings like temperature, humidity, pressure,
position, vibration, sound etc. besides using in various real-time
applications to perform various tasks like smart detecting, a discovery of
neighbour node, data processing and storage, data collection, target tracking,
monitor and controlling, synchronization, node localization, and effective routing
between the base station and nodes. Sensors based on
bio-compatible piezoelectric polymeric nanomaterialsare being developed for applications
in biomedicine.
