This book uniquely and comprehensively covers the various polymers that are used for sensors and actuators. The author has researched both scientific papers and patents to include all the recent discoveries and applications. Since many chemists may not be very familiar with the physical background as well as how sensors operate, \u003ci\u003ePolymeric Sensors and Actuators\u003c\/i\u003e includes a general chapter dealing with the overall physics and basic principles of sensors. Complementary chapters on their methods of fabrication as well as the processing of data are included. The actuators sections examine the fields of applications, special designs, and materials. The final chapter is dedicated to liquid crystal displays. The book concludes with four extensive indices including one special one on analytes to allow the practitioner to easily use the text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive text examines the following sensor types:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHumidity Sensors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBiosensors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMechanical Sensors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptical Sensors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSurface Plasmon Resonance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTest Strips\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMicroelectromechanical (MEMS) Sensors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePiezoelectric Sensors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcoustic Wave Sensors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectronic Nose\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitchable Polymers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohannes Karl Fink\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of macromolecular chemistry at Montanuniversität, Loeben, Austria. His industry and academic career spans more than thirty years in the fields of polymers, and his research interests include characterization, flame retardancy, thermodynamics and degradation of polymers, pyrolysis, and adhesives.
