Abstract

This work demonstrates that a mechanical device based on spiral spring or microspiral spring has a broad range of applications for detection of chemical and biological species. The surface stress changes or polymer volume changes on one side of the spiral spring extend or contract a spiral spring. The macrosize spiral spring can be used for power-free sensor development.
