Volume 5: Electrochemical and Optical Sensors in this outstanding series edited by Joe Watson, provides you with comprehensive coverage on two major groups of chemical sensors such as electrochemical and optical chemical sensors. In this one volume, you will find detailed description of electrochemical gas sensors, zirconia-based solid electrolyte gas sensors, electrochemical sensors for liquid environment, and ion selective FET-based sensors. Different optical and fiber-optic sensors are also included in this volume.
The present trend in approaches to design microfluid chip-platform is discussed here as well. Elaboration of such platforms is a significant step forward regarding micro- miniaturization and integration of multi-functionalities on the same chip. The markets for electrochemical and optical sensors and future trends in development of those devices are discussed as well.
Inside, you'll read about many cases electrochemical and optical sensors have the totality of exploitation parameters optimal for environmental monitoring, for safety, security, and process control in a variety of fields, including industry, transportation and public sector. It was established that electrochemical and optical sensors can be successfully applied in gas and liquid environments for gas detection, ion-monitoring, analysis of sea water, atmosphere, soils, nuclear fuels, industrial effluents and pharmaceutical compounds.
