Advanced Sensor Technology: Biomedical, Environmental, and Construction Applications

Advanced Sensor Technology: Biomedical, Environmental, and Construction Applications introduces readers to the past, present and future of sensor technology and its emerging applications in a wide variety of different fields. Organized in five parts, the book covers historical context and future outlook of sensor technology development and emerging applications, the use of sensors throughout many applications in healthcare, health and life science research, public health and safety, discusses chemical sensors used in environmental monitoring and remediation of contaminants, highlights the use of sensors in food, agriculture, fire prevention, automotive and robotics, and more. Final sections look forward at the challenges that must be overcome in the development and use of sensing technology as well as their commercial use, making this book appropriate for the interdisciplinary community of researchers and practitioners interested in the development of sensor technologies. Covers a range of environmental applications such as protection and improvement of water, air, soil, plants, and agriculture and food production; biomedical applications including detection of viruses, genes, hormones, proteins, bacteria, and cancer, and applications in construction such as fire protection, automotive, robotics, food packing and micro-machining Provides an outlook on opportunities and challenges for the fabrication and manufacturing of sensors in industry and their applicability for industrial uses Demonstrates how cutting-edge developments in sensing technology translate into real-world innovations in a range of industry sectors INDICE: Fundamental Aspects 1.
