‘Sensors Based on Nanostructured Materials’ presents the many different techniques and methods of fabricating materials on the nanometer scale, and, specifically, the utilization of these resources with regard to sensors. The techniques which are described are studied from an application-oriented perspective, providing the reader with a broader perspective of the types of nanostructuredsensors available than other books which concentrate on theoretical situations related to specific fabrication techniques. Rather than focus on possible techniques for future fabrication, this book describes and explores well established techniques for fabricating sensors using nanostructured materials, and serves as a multidisciplinary text which considers the uses in optics, electronics, and biochemistry. Complete discussion of sensors based on carbon nanotubesincluding sensing applications of carbonanotubes, gas, volatile organic compounds, flow, pH, glucose, biomolecules detection and other biological sensors Coverage of Nanowires, Nanobelts, and Novel Nanostructures and sensing applications such as gas, electronic noses, and chemical warfare agents INDICE: Introduction and scope.- CNT and Fullerene Sensors.- Non-carbon nanotubes for sensing.- Alternative Nanostructured Sensors.- Nanowires, Nanobelts, and Novel Nanostructures.- Nanostructured Metal Oxide Sensors.- Quantum DotSensors.- Nanostructured Magnetic Sensors.- Encapsulated Probe Sensors.- Nanocoatings for Optical Fiber Sensors.- Nanostructured Materials for Biosensors.-Nanostructured Sensors on Flexible Substrates.
