We describe work ongoing at ONE Nanotechnologies, LLC to create and refine chemoselective films for application as recognition elements in several sensor platforms. Organic materials and nanocomposites have been developed that allow gas phase and liquid phase detection of explosives and chemical agents. Very high surface area interfaces are achieved through processes suitable for high volume manufacture. Novel strategies enabling high molecular weight precursors to be used in a plasma enhanced deposition mode will be shown. Highly structured surfaces shown to have significant capability to recognize individual proteins from mixtures will be presented and implications for advanced biomarker sensing will be discussed. The thrust of this work illustrates the value of an interdisciplinary approach to advanced material design and integration in devices.
