Acoustic Wave Microsensors PART II

Acoustic wave microsensors are a versatile class of sensor with many applications. Although originally regarded as mass detectors, these sensors can also measure a variety of other physical properties at the sensor's surface. This article focuses on sensing involving sensitivity to viscoelastic thin-film properties and polymer transitions, response mechanisms of polymer-coated vapor sensors, acoustoelectric and dielectric effects, and factors influencing sensor behavior in the liquid phase. It begins with a discussion of viscoelastic thin films. 73 refs., 7 figs., 1 tab.
