Summary:
Post-silicon materials like polymers and solution-based devices allow to design new types of selective sensors. On the other hand, the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a class of nonlinear circuits offers the possibility of conceiving devices where the nonlinearity of the circuit is exploited to realize new mechanisms or improve classical ones. In this paper we discuss the possibility of coupling a new class of materials with nonlinear dynamic circuits to design a new class of selective sensors. The results that are included are preliminary and cover a wide range of applications. Moreover, several experimental results show the possibility of conceiving new multifunctional low-cost and eco-compatible sensors.
