A review of sensors based on piezoelectric crystal resonators is presented. The survey
focuses on the fundamental resonator modes rather than on the variety of surrounding …

The immobilization of two 30-mer oligonucleotides, one biotinylated (biotin-DNA) and the
other having a mercaptohexyl group at the 5 '-phosphate end (BS1-SH), onto modified gold …

Thin organic films fabricated by the successive deposition of the polyelectrolytes poly
(allylamine hydrochloride)(PAH) and poly (styrenesulfonate)(PSS) have been successfully …

Polymer films now play an essential and growing role in sensors. Recent advances in
polymer science and film preparation have made polymer films useful, practical and …

A comparison is given between piezoelectrically excited bulk acoustic wave (BAW) and
surface acoustic wave (SAW) elements with respect to their primary sensitivity functions and …

The detection and discrimination of chiral analytes has always been a topical theme in food
and pharmaceutical industries and environmental monitoring, especially when dealing with …

Systems designed by humans have no “intelligence” and only execute algorithms; however,
they may, somehow, mimic an intelligent behaviour (smart systems). Since, at present …

This chapter describes the history and development strategy of piezoelectric materials for
medical applications. It covers the piezoelectric properties of materials found inside the …

The alternate adsorption processes of polyelectrolytes from solution have been investigated
in situ using a functionalized (gold electrode) quartz substrate via the quartz crystal …

The development of a new type of hybrid material comprising naphthalene-based π-
conjugated amine (NBA) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanohybrid, grown in situ on …
