The growing concern worldwide for air pollution, biological threats
and security issues has led to an increasing demand for sensors in
multiple application areas, thus calling for a fast development of
small, reliable, inexpensive sensors which can be easily integrated
in various devices and equipments. Research efforts worldwide span
diverse areas, including new materials such as nanotubes and
nanofibers, miniaturization of electronics through nanotechnology,
or integration of several sensors in artificial noses, to name only
a few. Most of the time, the research results reported at
international conferences are scattered over different disciplines,
such as materials science, electronic engineering, optics and
photonics, nanotechnology, biochemistry and medicine, information
technology, etc., thus making it difficult to get a clear picture
of the advances in the sensing field.
The present book covers the main topics presented at the NATO
Advanced Study Institute on a oeSensors for Environment, Health and
Security: Advanced Materials and Technologiesa which was held in
Vichy (France) on September 16-27, 2007. The book aims at providing
the reader with the most recent knowledge in sensing materials and
sensor technologies, encompassing different kinds of materials and
technologies (semiconductors, photonics, self-assembling, biology,
etc). The detection of various analytes or signals (air pollution,
biodetection, nuclear detection, etc) finds applications in
environmental monitoring, health monitoring and seirity. The
underlying physical and chemical phenomena responsible for the
detection mechanisms, the most advanced technologies for sensor
processing and fabrication, and thefuture challenges to be taken up
are addressed in details by outstanding experts from the European
Union, Russia and the USA.
