Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are some of the most intriguing electronic devices because of their attractive properties such as mechanical flexibility, printability and low-manufacturing costs. While OFETs could be applied to powerful sensor devices, the development of OFET-based chemical sensors from the viewpoint of analytical and molecular recognition chemistry is still in its infancy. With that in mind, we have fabricated chemical sensors based on extended-gate type OFETs functionalized with artificial molecular receptors. As a result, the fabricated OFET sensors can detect biologically and/or environmentally important analytes such as heavy metal ions, phosphates, saccharides and proteins in aqueous media.
