Description
American Scientific Publishers Nanomaterial Based Flexible And Multifunctional Sensors (Hb 2019) by Singh E
This book contains eleven state-of-the-art review chapters outlining the role of nanomaterials in fabricang flexible and mulfunconal sensors, and their applicaons in sensor technologies. These include stretchable and bendable strain sensors for physical acvity monitoring and for healthcare; so robocs for wearable electronics; chemical sensors for detecng humidity, environmental toxic gases, hazardous volale organic compounds, pescides, mycotoxins, heavy metal ions in drinking water, food-borne pathogens and toxins, explosives, and biological warfare agents, as well as, electrochemical technology–based biosensing for detecng vital signs, blood glucose for diabecs, cholesterol for cardiovascular disease, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels in living cells, levels of dopamine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, nucleic acids, and enzymes, and biomarkers for cancers. The research topics include graphene-based flexible and stretchable strain sensors for wearable electronics, graphene-based gas sensors, carbon nanotubes and metal oxide–based flexible sensors and electrochemical sensors, applicaons of carbon dots in fluorescent sensors, the role of silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) nanomaterials in different types of sensors, nanocomposites of conducng polymers with carbon nanotubes and graphene as sensors for detecng biomolecules and drugs. The fields of nanotechnology and sensors are very broad and have considerable potenal for the future; therefore, this book will be a valuable resource for students, sciensts, and professionals working in the research areas of sensor technologies, nanotechnology, materials science, chemistry, physics, biological and medical sciences, the healthcare industry, environmental science, and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology
