Chemical Sensors

Chemical sensors contain two basic functions: recognition and transduction, and provide real-time information about substances rather than physical quantities. Such devices are extensively utilized for various applications in diverse fields. The book focuses on the physical, chemical, optical, and electrical working mechanisms of different types of sensors integrated with various smart nanomaterials and composites. The mesmerizing properties of numerous materials and their fruitful applications for detecting numerous chemical parameters are discussed here. The book provides recent progress in the chemical sensors field and connects materials, physics, chemistry, and engineering, and therefore, is suitable for engineers, industrial, and academic researchers.

Dr. Dnyandeo Pawar is working as a postdoctoral fellow at Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, Italy. He earned his Ph.D in the field of an interferometric optical fiber sensors based on specialty fibers and nanomaterials. He has authored and co-authored many research articles in reputed journals and conference proceedings. His research is focused on chemical sensors, fiber optic sensors, photonic devices, and functionalized materials for chemical sensor applications. He is an active reviewer for various journals of Optica, ACS, IEEE, Elsevier, and Springer. He is a member of Optica and SPIE.
