Abstract
An overview is given on results demonstrating that photomechanical chemical sensors represent an important development in micromechanical chemical detection technology and can be expected to provide the basis for considerable further development. Microcantilevers with various chemical coatings are shown to respond sensitively to the presence of chemical analytes. Monitoring the bending of microcantilevers provide an attractive alternative to detect gas-phase analytes.
