Only one year after the first MAST conference, held in the Greek island city of Kos, the second conference drew about 240 oral and poster papers and about 150 non-presenting participants. Nearly half of the papers are presented here. Among them are discussions of characteristics of laser-generated visco-elastic Rayleigh waves, selective optical gas sensors using butterfly wing scales nanostructures, fabricating a monolithic integrated bimaterial resonant uncooled infrared sensor, different kinds of carbon-based material for resistive gas sensing, direct surface relief formation in polymer films, using a microwave sensor as an online indicator of neurological impairment during surgical procedures, improving amorphous selenium photodetector performance using an organic semiconductor, and evaluating the polarization state of integrated piezoelectric sensors and actuators using the thermal wave method.
