SENSORS

Polymeric materials and devices for the detection of biomolecules, such as dopamine, glucose and morphine. Electrochemical sensors based on conducting polymers with different architectures and configurations, as well as on electrochemically responsive materials obtained by submitting insulating polymers to plasma treatments, are being developed. Devices for the simultaneous release and detection of therapeutic molecules are being fabricated combining conducting polymers and biohydrogels.
