Polymer research aims to expand possibilities in sensor technology
Sensors enable us to monitor changes in systems of all kinds.
The materials at the heart of those sensors, of course, ultimately determine their end-use application. Devices made of silicon, for example, enable ultrafast processing in computers and phones, but they aren’t pliable enough for use in physiological monitoring.
They also require a lot of energy to produce.
