Synopsis

Chemical sensors are in high demand for applications as varied as water pollution detection, medical diagnostics, and battlefield air analysis. Designing the next generation of sensors requires an interdisciplinary approach. The book provides a critical analysis of new opportunities in sensor materials research that have been opened up with the use of combinatorial and high-throughput technologies, with emphasis on experimental techniques. For a view of component selection with a more computational perspective, readers may refer to the complementary volume of Integrated Analytical Systems edited by M. Ryan et al., entitled “Computational Methods for Sensor Material Selection”.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Sensing materials play a key role in the successful implementation of chemical and biological sensors. Written by prominent contributors to the field, Combinatorial Methods for Chemical and Biological Sensors documents the impact of combinatorial methods for the design of new polymeric, inorganic, biological, and formulated sensing materials. This valuable book examines the strategies for setting up successful techniques for the combinatorial preparation and functional high throughput screening of sensing materials arrays. The advances, remaining challenges, and opportunities in mining of new knowledge in sensing materials are critically analyzed. The book is addressed to the rapidly growing number of active practitioners and researchers in the field of sensing materials for chemical sensors and biosensors, directors of industrial and government research centers, laboratory supervisors and managers, students, and lecturers. Approaches examined in this book will be also of interest to materials science researchers.
