Overview

Artificial sensors have now assumed a major role in both domestic and industrial settings and the development of new technologies continues at an accelerating rate. Initial chapters give an introduction to the classification of sensors and the various properties of materials used in sensing. Each subsequent chapter deals with specific areas of sensor materials, these being metal, semiconductor, dielectric. solid electrolytic, magnetic, fibre, optic, radiant and biological materials. In addition, there is substantial bibliographic information which provides a source of published research literature for each sensor.
