Analytical Nanochemistry: How Nanotechnology and Analytical
Chemistry Impact Each Other explains the fundamental information
needed to understand and utilize nanomaterials, including their
classification, synthesis, functionalization, characterization
methods, separation and isolation techniques, and toxicity. In
addition, it covers fundamental information on different aspects of
analytical procedures and method development. Finally, it
emphasizes micro- and nano-enabled analytical devices and
instruments as well as nanotools for nanoanalysis. The book opens
with a section on fundamentals, then continues with a section on
the role of nanomaterials in analytical procedures, including
sample preparation, separation and detection. The third section
includes chapters on micro- and nano-enabled devices, as most
miniaturized microsystems include nanofeatures. Final sections
cover future perspectives, including nanoanalysis, bioanalysis,
toxic risks, and limitations of both technology and
commercialization. The book serves as a valuable resource for
students, instructors and researchers in analytical chemistry,
nanomaterials and nanotechnology investigating the use of
nanotechnology in their analytical procedures.
Nanotechnology-Based E-Noses: Fundamentals and Emerging
Applications reviews advances in nanomaterials and their
modification for use in e-sensors. Theoretical understanding of
nanomaterials and technologies for improving sensors with better
detection limits are covered, as are the most relevant
nanomaterials, their synthesis strategies and the relationship
between properties and device performance. Current state-of-the-art
progress in nanotechnology device fabrication, along with
directions for future applications and challenges are also
discussed. This book will be an ideal resource for materials
scientists, engineers, chemists, researchers in academia and
R&D in industry. Recently, "e-noses" or "electronic sensors"
are emerging as advanced technologies for the fast detection of
chemicals, gases and explosives. The concept behind the "e-nose" is
similar to the capability of humans and dogs in detecting materials
based on odors. Nanomaterials can be used for e-nose technologies
but their properties must be modified to make them effective
sensors. The sensing capability and performance these materials
depend on several factors such as morphology, dopants,
micro-additives, design of sensors, phase and structure of the
nanomaterials.
Analytical Nebulizers: Fundamentals and Applications presents the
fundamentals of analytical nebulizers, including types, aerosol
generation, characterization, and design information of various
classes of nebulizers such as nanonebulizers, multinebulizers,
electrosprays, and ultrasonic nebulizers. The continuous
development of new analytical techniques and materials make these
technological approaches very interesting for those working in the
industrial sector. In addition, although the book mainly focuses on
the application of analytical nebulizers in analytical sciences,
specifically in sample preparation, it is also useful to those in
other disciplines (e.g. organic chemistry, catalysis, sensors,
nanotechnology, biomedicine and nanomedicine, and environmental
chemistry) where these nebulizers have great potential.
Non-conventional applications of nebulizers such as
aerosol-assisted synthesis nanoparticles and ultrasonic
nebulization extraction are also presented.
Micro- and Nanotechnology Enabled Applications for Portable
Miniaturized Analytical Systems outlines the basic principles of
miniaturized analytical devices, such as spectrometric, separation,
imaging and electrochemical miniaturized instruments. Concepts such
as smartphone-enabled miniaturized detection systems and
micro/nanomachines are also reviewed. Subsequent chapters explore
the emerging application of these mobile devices for miniaturized
analysis in various fields, including medicine and biomedicine,
environmental chemistry, food chemistry, and forensic chemistry.
This is an important reference source for materials scientists and
engineers wanting to understand how miniaturization techniques are
being used to create a range of efficient, sustainable electronic
and optical devices. Miniaturization describes the concept of
manufacturing increasingly smaller mechanical, optical, and
electronic products and devices. These smaller instruments can be
used to produce micro- and nanoscale components required for
analytical procedures. A variety of micro/nanoscale materials have
been synthesized and used in analytical procedures, such as sensing
materials, sorbents, adsorbents, catalysts, and reactors. The
miniaturization of analytical instruments can be applied to the
different steps of analytical procedures, such as sample
preparation, analytical separation, and detection, reducing the
total cost of manufacturing the instruments and the needed reagents
and organic solvents.
Silicon-Based Hybrid Nanoparticles: Fundamentals, Properties, and
Applications focuses on the fundamental principles and promising
applications of silicon-based hybrid nanoparticles in
nanoelectronics, energy storage/conversion, catalysis, sensors,
biomedicine, environment and imaging. This book is an important
reference source for materials scientists and engineers who are
seeking to understand more about the major properties and
applications of silicon-based hybrid nanoparticles. As the
hybridization of silicon nanoparticles with other semiconductors or
metal oxides nanoparticles may exhibit superior features, when
compared to lone, individual nanoparticles, this book provides the
latest insights. In addition, the silicon/iron oxide hybrid
nanoparticles also possess excellent fluorescence,
super-paramagnetism, and biocompatibility that can be effectively
used for the diagnostic imaging system in vivo. Similarly,
gold-silicon nanohybrids could be used as highly efficient
near-infrared hyperthermia agents for cancer cell destruction.
Nanosensors for Smart Manufacturing provides information on the
fundamental design concepts and emerging applications of
nanosensors in smart manufacturing processes. In smart production,
if the products and machines are integrated, embedded, or equipped
with sensors, the system can immediately collect the current
operating parameters, predict the product quality, and then feed
back the optimal parameters to machines in the production line. In
this regard, smart sensors and their wireless networks are
important components of smart manufacturing. Nanomaterials-based
sensors (nanosensors) offer several advantages over their
microscale counterparts, including lower power consumption, fast
response time, high sensitivity, lower concentration of analytes,
and smaller interaction distance between sensors and products. With
the support of artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as fuzzy
logic, genetic algorithms, neural networks, and ambient
intelligence, sensor systems have become smarter. This is an
important reference source for materials scientists and engineers
who want to learn more about how nanoscale sensors can enhance
smart manufacturing techniques and processes.

organic chemistry, catalysis, sensors-will also find this a
valuable resource. Magnetic nanomaterials that can be controlled
using external magnetic fields have opened new doors for the
development of new sample preparation methods and novel magnetic
sorbents for forensic chemistry, environmental monitoring, magnetic
digital microfluidics, bioanalysis, and food analysis. In addition,
they are seeing wide application as sensing materials in the
development of giant magnetoresistive sensors, biosensors,
electrochemical sensors, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
sensors, resonance light scattering sensors, and colorimetric
sensors.
