Recent Advances in Smart Polymer Composites for Plant Health Monitoring: A Strategic Integration of Sensing Mechanisms and Computational IntelligenceBy Arvind Rehalia, Kajal Kaul, Surinder Kaur, Ruchi Sharma, Sanjeev Sanyal
Abstract: Plant health assessment is crucial for agricultural production and food security, as plant diseases significantly affect crop yields and quality. This paper reviews the applications of polymers and composite materials in the evaluation of plant health, focusing on both natural and artificial polymers, carbon materials, and polymeric–nanoparticle composite materials. Various types of sensing principles, such as colorimetry, fluorimetry, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and interferometry, are …
