STIMULI-RESPONSIVE POLYMERS BASED COMPOSITES AS BIOSENSORS

Abstract

Polymeric materials that respond quickly chemically and/or physically to changes in their surroundings are known as stimuli-responsive polymeric materials. The action should ideally be reversible, meaning that if the stimulus is removed, the sensitive polymeric material goes back to its original state. These smart materials are able to self-control the communication with their environment or stimuli; thus, they might be key devices for various biomedical applications in the upcoming century with new modification for biosensing, Smart Polymeric materials offer new possibilities to incorporate biological sensing elements. The creation of nanocomposite material and polymer-based composites to enhance their qualities, including improved mechanical strength, toughness, electrical conductivity, and others. A broad variety of uses for these materials are possible, including biomimetic materials and technologies, intelligent materials, renewable energy sources, packaging, etc. This article examines how polymer-based composites are used in biosensing. We outlined the status, benefits of particular polymer-based sensors, and future prospects in this article.
