When first published in 1989 this was the leading book on chemical sensors. Since then, many undergraduate textbooks on chemical sensors have been published, but no graduate ones. This book is the first advanced undergraduate/graduate textbook on chemical sensors, and as with the first edition it will also garner strong interest as a reference volume. Focus is on physical and chemical principles of operation of chemical sensors, not on their detailed description Four main categories of sensing principles are covered: Thermal, mass, electrochemical and optical Sensor applications are included only as examples Generaltopics include: Origins of selectivity, data reduction, elements of fabrication Appendices allow non-specialists to follow the explanations INDICE: General Aspects.- Thermal Sensors.- Mass Sensors.- ElectrochemicalSensors.- Optical Sensors.- Appendixes.- Index.
