Nanostructured Materials for Sensing Applications

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the cutting-edge advancements in nanotechnology-based sensors, covering topics ranging from fundamental principles to practical applications. By providing readers with up-to-date insights, practical guidance, and a multidisciplinary perspective, the book equips researchers, professionals, and students involved with detection of various types of analytes including environmental pollutants, chemical contaminants, food borne pathogens, and disease biomarkers with the knowledge and tools they need to stay abreast of the latest developments in nano sensing and make meaningful contributions to the field.

The book serves two crucial purposes; first, it gathers the most relevant information about the prospects of nanotechnology-based sensors as a strategy to trace numerous pollutants and disease biomarkers, thereby addressing pressing environmental and healthcare challenges; second, it aims to motivate the industrial sector and government agencies to invest more in the research and development of this strategy, recognizing it as a powerful tool to tackle these critical issues.
