Porous silicon is rapidly attracting increasing interest from
various fields, including optoelectronics, microelectronics,
photonics, medicine, chemistry, and biosensing. This nanostructured
and biodegradable material has a range of unique properties that
make it ideal for many applications. For example, the pores and
surface chemistry of the material can be manipulated to change the
rate of drug release from hours to months. Porous Silicon:
Biomedical and Sensor Applications, Volume Two is part of the
three-book series Porous Silicon: From Formation to Application. It
discusses applications of porous silicon in bioengineering and in
various sensors, including gas sensors, biosensors, pressure
sensors, mechanical sensors, optical sensors, and many other types.
It also thoroughly reviews the fabrication, parameters, and
applications of devices that use porous silicon. Drawing upon a
vast amount of recently published literature, the book guides
readers through practical implementations that span environmental
control, chemistry, spectroscopy, gas chromatography,
microelectronics, micromachining, microfluidics, medicine,
biotechnology, and the car industry. It is divided into three
sections that focus on: Types of sensors that use porous silicon
Auxiliary devices that use porous silicon Biomedical applications
such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and in vivo imaging
Representing the most recent progress in applications of porous
silicon to biomedical and sensory technology, this reference is
indispensable for those involved in the research, development, and
application of porous silicon in several scientific disciplines. It
also serves as a starting point for the interested but unfamiliar
reader to gain a thorough understanding of the unusual properties
of porous silicon, other porous materials, and possible areas for
current and future applications.
