The growing activity and progress in organicelectronics, together with the need for versatile,lightweight, compact, inexpensive, and field-deployable chemical and biological sensors,has prompted the development of OFET- andOLED-based sensors, organic semiconductorand surface plasmon resonance sensors,organic semiconductor-based photodetectors,and sensitive organic materials for sensingapplications.Suchapplicationsincludeindustrial,environmental, food and beverage, medical,biosensing and homeland security. Transistor-,OLED-, other organic semiconductor-basedsensingtechnologies,andthosebasedoncarbonnanotubes(CNTs)andgraphenearepromisingforfast,simultaneousdetectionofmultipleanalytesutilizing sensor micro/nano arrays. Continuedresearch and development efforts are neededto further improve sensor performance, andconsequently,manufacturability.

Organic bioelectronics is also attractingincreasing interest. The field explores chemical,ionic, and optoelectronic attributes of organicmaterialsandtheir incorporation inbioelectronicdevices.Examplesofdevicesincludeionpumpsbased on conducting polymers, which havebeenusedtocontrolcellgrowthandconductingpolymerelectrodesformedicalimplants.Abetterunderstandingoftheorganic/livingtissueinterface,whichwill leadtothedesignofbetterbiosensorconcepts,remainsachallenge.
