Chemical sensors / biosensors and sensing technologies are among the most important research subjects in the Analytical Chemistry field. Recently, quality of life (QOL), safety and security issues are topics of high concern in our daily life. There is a trend towards "ubiquitous chemical sensors" that are available for sensing at any place and at any time.
In this context, the interdisciplinary symposium will focus on sensors for environmental-, clinical-, food-, and security-related substances that provide information for better understanding and for solving problems of daily human life. New chemical sensors / biosensors and sensing systems, as well as functional materials related to sensors (e.g. functional dyes, functional polymers, molecular recognition elements, transducers, etc.) will be discussed from all aspects of chemistry. Papers dealing with various types of sensors (e.g. gas sensors, electrochemical sensors, optical sensors, mass-related sensors, etc.) without limitation to a specific sensing technology are welcome in this symposium.
