Chemical sensors are self-contained analytical devices thatprovide real-time information on chemical composition. A chemicalsensor integrates two distinct functions: recognition andtransduction. Such devices are widely used for a variety ofapplications, including clinical analysis, environment monitoringand monitoring of industrial processes. This text provides anup-to-date survey of chemical sensor science and technology, with agood balance between classical aspects and contemporary trends.Topics covered include:
* Structure and properties of recognition materials and reagents,including synthetic, biological and biomimetic materials,microorganisms and whole-cells
* Physicochemical basis of various transduction methods(electrical, thermal, electrochemical, optical, mechanical andacoustic wave-based)
* Auxiliary materials used e.g. synthetic and natural polymers,inorganic materials, semiconductors, carbon and metallicmaterials
* properties and applications of advanced materials (particularlynanomaterials) in the production of chemical sensors andbiosensors
* Advanced manufacturing methods
* Sensors obtained by combining particular transduction andrecognition methods
* Mathematical modeling of chemical sensor processes
Suitable as a textbook for graduate and final year undergraduatestudents, and also for researchers in chemistry, biology, physics,physiology, pharmacology and electronic engineering, this bookisvaluable to anyone interested in the field of chemical sensors andbiosensors.
