Advanced Sensor Technology: Biomedical, Environmental, and Construction Applications introduces readers to the past, present and future of sensor technology and its emerging applications in a wide variety of different fields. Organized in five parts, the book covers historical context and future outlook of sensor technology development and emerging applications, the use of sensors throughout many applications in healthcare, health and life science research, public health and safety, discusses chemical sensors used in environmental monitoring and remediation of contaminants, highlights the use of sensors in food, agriculture, fire prevention, automotive and robotics, and more.

Final sections look forward at the challenges that must be overcome in the development and use of sensing technology as well as their commercial use, making this book appropriate for the interdisciplinary community of researchers and practitioners interested in the development of sensor technologies.

Nature-Derived Sensors: Basic Principles and Recent Advances offers a wide range of information on nature-inspired solutions for modern sensor technology. A branch of biomimetics science, biomimetic sensors, and sensing technologies have grown rapidly and widely and therefore have found real industrial applications as emerging technologies. As a result of the demand for low-cost, high-quality, and smart sensors, challenges across many scientific fields can be resolved by learning from nature solutions.

This book begins with an introductory section dealing with fundamental and basic information about biomimetic mechanisms, materials, algorithms, and tools. Various classes of nature-inspired sensors are also discussed. This book is an excellent reference for graduate students and researchers working with biomimetic sensors, their industrial applications, data science, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things in the processing of sensory data.

Provides a broad range of information from basic principles to advanced applications of biosensors and nanomaterials in health care diagnostics

This book utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to provide a wide range of information on biosensors and the impact of nanotechnology on the development of biosensors for health care. It offers a solid background on biosensors, recognition receptors, biomarkers, and disease diagnostics. An overview of biosensor-based health care applications is addressed. Nanomaterial applications in biosensors and diagnostics are included, covering the application of nanoparticles, magnetic nanomaterials, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and molecularly imprinted nanostructures. The topic of organ-specific health care systems utilizing biosensors is also incorporated to provide deep insight into the very recent advances in disease diagnostics.

Biosensors and Nanotechnology: Applications in Health Care Diagnostics is comprised of 15 chapters that are presented in four sections and written by 33 researchers who are actively working in Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Turkey, Denmark, Finland, Romania, Malaysia and Brazil. It covers biomarkers in healthcare; microfluidics in medical diagnostics; SPR-based biosensor techniques; piezoelectric-based biosensor technologies; MEMS-based cell counting methods; lab-on-chip platforms; optical applications for cancer cases; and more. 

Biosensors and Nanotechnology: Applications in Health Care Diagnostics is an excellent book for researchers, scientists, regulators, consultants, and engineers in the field, as well as for graduate students studying the subject.

This book provides an overview of the latest technology and advances in the field of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and their diverse applications in healthcare diagnostics, food safety and quality, as well as environmental monitoring. Divided into 3 parts, the book offers an introduction to the basics of molecular imprinting and affinity materials, followed by an outline of the main sensor applications and the contribution of smart nanomaterials to molecular imprinting. The last part of the book compares MIP-based diagnostics technologies with antibody- and aptamer-based diagnostics, and discusses existing and further commercial opportunities for MIPs.

Through this book, readers will get a wide range of information from basics to advanced applications in the molecular imprinting area and discover the impact of integrated approaches such as computational studies and nanotechnology on the development of imprinting techniques for biotechnological applications covering healthcare, environmental and food safety research.

With its rich content, the book is a unique contribution to the field and it holds great potential to be a reference work not only for researchers working in the field but also for the researchers who plan to design collaborative research projects to contribute to their particular field (e.g., medical scientists, medical doctors, agricultural or food engineers).
