Rene Lalauze 
Chemical Sensors and Biosensors [PDF ebook] 

Technological needs for chemical, ionic and biological species
detection are giving rise to continuous research and development in
physico-chemistry and biology. The constant progress being made in
the theoretical and technological aspects concerning studies and
developments of chemical sensors, biosensors and biochips is
presented in this book by different scientists and professors from
different universities and constitutes an updating of the state of
the art for chemical sensors, biosensors and biochips.
This book places a large emphasis on interaction between chemical
and biological species, in a gaseous or liquid state, and details
mineral and biological materials acting as sensitive elements. The
role of electrical, electrochemical, piezoelectric and optical
transducers in detection mechanisms are presented through their
developments and from a performance point-of-view. Micro-reactors,
nanotechnologies and flexible substrates, are considered in
relation to their role in neural networks.
