This book will cover all the topics of gas sensors, a research field with an increasing interest in the last few years due to the demands of reliable, cheap and portable systems for environmental monitoring, indoor air quality, food quality control and many other applications. The objective is to provide a critical assessment of the new trends in the entire gas sensor field, by describing the working principle and the applications related to the different type ofsensors and paying attention to the recent impact of nanotechnology on the field. Nanotechnology is a new field that will change dramatically solid state gas sensing. In the last few decades study of onedimensional (1D) materials hasbecome a leading edge in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Describes the working principle and the applications related to the different type of sensors Notes the recent impact of nanotechnology on the field Deals with all the fundamental aspects of solid-state gas sensing as well as new, hot topics that are changing research in the field INDICE: Micro-Fabrication of Gas Sensors.- Electrical Reaction Based Gas Sensing.- Capacitive-type Relative Humidity Sensor with Hydrophobic Polymer Films.- FET Gas Sensing Mechanism, Experimental and Theoretical Studies.- Solid-state Electrochemical Gas Sensing.- Optical Gas Sensing.- Thermometric Gas Sensing.- Acoustic Wave Gas and Vapor Sensors.- Cantilever-based Gas Sensing.
