Functional polymeric coatings for sensory applications
- The growing demand for the detection of relevant chemical compounds as close as possible to their point of origin—whether in industrial processes, for (civilian or military) security, or for environmental monitoring—has increased the importance of functional polymers with molecular recognition capabilities. These materials must meet practical requirements arising from very different real-world scenarios in which simple, robust, and field-deployable approaches are needed and in which bioanalytical binders often suffer significant performance losses. Polymer recognition matrices therefore serve as an essential complement to established laboratory-based analytical technologies.
The realization of rapid and reliable onsite detection places specific demands on material design: polymeric recognition layers must be produced with minimal thickness, integrated onto suitable carrier media, and designed for both selectivity and operational robustness. This presentation will introduce our work onThe growing demand for the detection of relevant chemical compounds as close as possible to their point of origin—whether in industrial processes, for (civilian or military) security, or for environmental monitoring—has increased the importance of functional polymers with molecular recognition capabilities.

The realization of rapid and reliable onsite detection places specific demands on material design: polymeric recognition layers must be produced with minimal thickness, integrated onto suitable carrier media, and designed for both selectivity and operational robustness. This presentation will introduce our work on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) that have been specifically developed for the detection of relevant contaminants such as pesticides and perfluorinated compounds. Beyond these target analytes, the presentation will show how such polymer layers can support robust, sustainable diagnostic concepts, and it will outline generalizable design principles that enable their extension to a broad spectrum of analytical challenges.…
