More DescriptionNanosensors for Chemical and Biological Applications, Second Edition is an overview of some of the important and recent developments brought about by the application of nanotechnology for both chemical and biological sensor development. Up-to-date information on the fabrication, properties and operating mechanisms of these sensors is given. Progress in the field, fundamental issues and challenges facing researchers, and prospects for future development are discussed.
The sections on electrochemical sensors and spectrographic sensors have been updated to reflect the latest advances in these areas. Part One continues to address sensor applications of carbon nanotubes, cell and nanoparticle based sensors, gas sensors and much more. Part two goes on to discuss spectrographic nanosensors, with chapters on the use of nanoparticle sensors for biochemical and environmental sensing and other techniques for detecting nanoparticles in the environment.
For the second edition, two sections have been added to cover emerging nanosensors such as graphene-based sensors and future trends, opportunities, and challenges for nanosensors.
- Reviews the diverse array of electrochemical nanosensors, including the use of carbon nanotubes, glucose nanosensors, chemiresistor sensors using metal oxides, and nanoparticles
- Discusses spectrographic nanosensors, such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticle sensors, the use of coated gold nanoparticles, and semiconductor quantum dots
- Addresses emerging nanosensors, such as those based on graphene, wearable nanosensors, and nanobioelectronic sensors
