Advanced Sensor and Detection Materials [EPUB ebook] 

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.
