Abstract
Chemical sensors have been developed for many decades and are essential for our everyday modern life. They generally consist of a receptor and a transducer. Receptors recognize specific targets and then undergo some changes. This change causes a signal, and transducers convert this signal into data for quantitative and qualitative analysis. In this chapter, we introduce recent developments in receptor materials, paper-based sensors, biofriendly disposable sensors, pH sensors and colorimetric sensors. At the end of this chapter, we discuss chemical sensors of the future, in particular electronic nose and electronic tongue.
