(Advanced Material Series) 1st Edition
by Ashutosh Tiwari (Editor), Mustafa M. Demir (Editor)
Presents a comprehensive and interdisciplinary review of the major
cutting-edge technology research areas—especially those on new
materials and methods as well as advanced structures and properties—for
various sensor and detection devices
The development of
sensors and detectors at macroscopic or nanometric scale is the driving
force stimulating research in sensing materials and technology for
accurate detection in solid, liquid, or gas phases; contact or
non-contact configurations; or multiple sensing. The emphasis on
reduced-scale detection techniques requires the use of new materials and
methods. These techniques offer appealing perspectives given by spin
crossover organic, inorganic, and composite materials that could be
unique for sensor fabrication. The influence of the length, composition,
and conformation structure of materials on their properties, and the
possibility of adjusting sensing properties by doping or adding the
side-groups, are indicative of the starting point of multifarious
sensing. The role of intermolecular interactions, polymer and ordered
phase formation, as well as behavior under pressure and magnetic and
electric fields are also important facts for processing ultra-sensing
materials.
The 15 chapters written by senior researchers in Advanced Sensor and Detection Materials
cover all these subjects and key features under three foci: 1)
principals and perspectives, 2) new materials and methods, and 3)
advanced structures and properties for various sensor devices.
