On the one hand, particle-based sensing techniques are driven by
new technologies for preparing and measuring micro- and
nanoparticles and by a fascination of the possibilities for design
and functionalization of all specificities in structure shapes and
behavior of these tiny objects. On the other hand, there evolves a
fast-growing need for new sensing and communication paths for
medicine, biotechnology, and analytical science, as well as for new
and efficient information transfer and storage systems. No longer
are particles regarded only as special types of materials. However,
we have a better understanding of how they are bridging the gap
between material and system, between structure and function.
Although there are numerous books on micro- and nanoparticles and
on sensors, there is, to the best of my knowledge, no book focusing
on the general concept of particles as mobile microtransducers.
This book clarifies that signal-transducing particles should be
regarded as functional elements, as part of a system, not simply as
special materials. It introduces concepts of bead-base sensing and
"mobile spies" at the micro- and nanoscale and gives a
representative overview of the variety of particle-based sensing.
The state of the art in the development of particles as mobile
spies for communication and information management allows us to
speculate about future particle-based components and systems in a
completely sustainable world economy. In addition, the book reports
on a fast-evolving technical field, which is a typical example of
the required convergence of technical strategies and mechanisms in
living nature, and would make a great reference for professionals
and students of chemistry, biochemistry, biology, pharmacy,
medicine, agriculture, mechatronics, informatics, materials
science, and systems engineering.
