Book description
Technological needs for chemical, ionic and biological species
detection are giving rise to continuous research and development in
physico-chemistry and biology. The constant progress being made in the
theoretical and technological aspects concerning studies and
developments of chemical sensors, biosensors and biochips is presented
in this book by different scientists and professors from different
universities and constitutes an updating of the state of the art for
chemical sensors, biosensors and biochips.
This book places a
large emphasis on interaction between chemical and biological species,
in a gaseous or liquid state, and details mineral and biological
materials acting as sensitive elements. The role of electrical,
electrochemical, piezoelectric and optical transducers in detection
mechanisms are presented through their developments and from a
performance point-of-view. Micro-reactors, nanotechnologies and
flexible substrates, are considered in relation to their role in
neural networks.
