Polymers and organic materials-based pH sensors for healthcare applications
Abstract
In this review, we discuss chemical, physical and electrochemical properties of pH-sensitive polymers and organic materials and their sensing mechanisms for healthcare applications. We find that polymers and organic materials, due to their biocompatibility and customizable electrical and electrochemical properties, can be used in pH sensors as structural, pH-sensitive, and passivation materials. To do so, we first identify the properties and …
