The goal | The objects of this course are chemical sensors, powerful devices that transform chemical information, ranging from the concentration of a specific sample component to total composition analysis, into an analytically useful signal. The chemical information may originate from a chemical reaction of the analyte or from a physical property of the system investigated. | |||
The outcome | The main outcomes are the theoretical and practical knowledge of the functionality of chemical sensors, physical and chemical mechanisms (physisorption, chemisorption, molecular recognition) which are the basis for the interactive processes between the analyte and sensor. | |||
