Artificial receptors for chemical sensors

The first to provide systematically organized information on all three important aspects of artificial receptor design, this book brings together knowledgeon an exceptionally hot and multidisciplinary field of research. Strong emphasis is placed on the methodology for discovering artificial receptors, with both definitions for chemosensitivity as well as experimental setups supplied. There follows coverage of numerous classes of artificial receptors, including synthesis, immobilization on surfaces, and quantitative data on properties. Thethird part of the book focuses on receptor arrays for artificial nose and tongue applications and the whole is rounded off with an outlook and an appendix with all relevant quantitative data on artificial receptors INDICE: Introduction - Why Artificial Receptors? PART I - GENERAL ASPECTS OF DESIGN AND OPERATION OF ARTIFICIAL RECEPTORS Quantitative characterization of affinity properties of immobilized receptors Selectivity of chemical receptors Combinatorial development of sensing materials PART 2 - MOLECULAR RECEPTORS Fluorescent cyclodextrins as chemosensors for molecule detection in water Cyclopeptide derived synthetic receptors Boronic acid-based receptors and chemosensors Artificial receptor compounds for chiral recognition Fullerene receptors based on calixarene derivatives Guanidinium based anion receptors PART 3 - RECEPTORS FORMED BY POLYMERS OR ORGANIZED MOLECULE GROUPS Artificial receptors based on spreader-bar systems The potential of aptamers as artificial receptors in chemical sensors Conducting polymers as artificial receptors in chemical sensors Molecularly imprinted polymers as artificial receptors APPENDIX - Quantitative affinity data on artificial receptors
