Overview

Chemical sensors are devices that detect and measure chemical substances, converting their presence or concentration into a readable signal. These sensors typically consist of a recognition element, which interacts specifically with the target chemical, and a transducer, which converts this interaction into an electrical signal. Types of chemical sensors include electrochemical, optical, and mass-sensitive sensors. They play crucial roles in various applications such as environmental monitoring, industrial process control, medical diagnostics, and safety systems. For example, electrochemical sensors are widely used in glucose meters for diabetes management, while gas sensors monitor air quality. Advances in nanotechnology and materials science are enhancing sensor sensitivity, selectivity, and miniaturization, expanding their potential uses. Chemical sensors are essential for real-time analysis, offering rapid and accurate detection, which is vital for protecting health and safety, ensuring quality control, and advancing scientific research. This book consists of contributions made by international experts on chemical sensor technology. There has been rapid progress in this field and its applications are finding their way across multiple industries. A number of latest researches have been included in this book to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.
