Naturwissenschaften Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Fundamentals and application examples of polymeric materials in different types of biosensors are presented and discussed in view of their molecular structure and biosensor design and construction. The role of a series of polymers with respect to their typical application and their specific properties, like sensitivity and stability, is highlighted. Future trends of polymer materials for biosensors in the area of medical and environmental applications are outlined.
