Chemical Sensors [EPUB ebook] 
Fundamentals of Sensing Materials Volume 1: General Approaches

Chemical sensors are integral to the automation of myriad industrial processes, as well as everyday monitoring of such activities as public safety, engine performance, medical therapeutics, and many more. This massive reference work will cover all major categories of chemical sensor materials and devices, and their general functional usage …from monitoring and analyzing gases, to analyzing liquids and compounds of all kinds. This is THE reference work on sensors used for chemical detection and analysis. In this first volume will be found a comprehensive introduction to all key materials used for chemical sensors, beginning with the essential foundations like desired properties, as well as methods of synthesis, methods of deposition, and methods for modification of sensing materials properties.
