Riassunto

Nanomaterials Design for Sensing Applications examines chemosensors, beginning with molecules that are able to respond to certain stimuli and then showing their assembly and incorporation into sensing materials. The mechanisms of their action for the detection of ions, specific molecules and biostructures, are also covered. A major theme is the affordability of sensors, with particular attention paid to inexpensive and reliable colorimetric sensors that can be read by the naked eye. The book also delves into the development of sensors that utilize existing RFID infrastructure and introduces a novel strategy for the development of self-healing sensing platforms.

This book will help readers develop a better understanding of the types of materials used for sensing at the nano level, while also providing an insightful overview on recent advances in this important area.

Informazioni sull?autore

Olena V. Zenkina studied chemical engineering at NTU"KPI", Kharkiv, Ukraine. After graduation, she joined the group of Prof. Milko van der Boom in the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel. There she was working on her Ph.D. in chemistry exploring d-10 metals ring-walking over pi-conjugated systems. Her postdoctoral experience in the group of Prof. Cathleen M. Crudden at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada included the discovery of single crystal to single crystal transformations, development of novel oxygen sensors, and carbene self-assembled monolayers formation on gold surfaces. After accepting a position of Assistant Professor at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa, Canada, Dr. Zenkina is focused on synthetic methodologies for the creation of well-defined self-assembled architectures on various surface supports (transparent metal oxide surfaces, metal surfaces, paper, glass, etc.) and their application in microfabrication of molecular-based “smart” functional devices.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Recent advances in nanofabrication have resulted in the development of miniaturized sensors with fast response, high precision, accuracy, reproducibility, and low detection limits. These sensors are in high demand for a variety of environmental, industrial, forensic, chemical, biological, and health applications. This book explores sensing technologies: the status of current R&D for new sensors and future expectations.

The book examines the design of chemosensors: starting from molecules able to respond to certain stimuli, showing how these functional components can be assembled and incorporated into sensing materials. The mechanisms of their action for detection of ions, specific molecules, and biostructures are also covered. A major theme is the affordability of sensors, with particular attention paid to inexpensive and reliable colorimetric sensors that can be read by the naked eye, and the development of sensors that utilize existing radio frequency identification tags infrastructure. Finally, this book introduces a novel strategy for the development of self-healing sensing platforms that maintain long-term use and benefit from improved reliability, working continuity, and durability of complex sensing arrays.

Nanomaterials Design for Sensing Applications helps the reader to develop a better understanding of the materials used for sensing at the nano level, and provides an insightful overview of recent advances in this important area.
