Gas Sensing Fundamentals [Hardcover]

This volume, which addresses various basic sensor principles, covers micro gravimetric sensors, semiconducting and nano tube sensors, calorimetric sensors and optical sensors. Furthermore, the authors discuss recent developments in the related sensitive layers including new properties of nano structured metal oxide layers. They provide in-depth insights into the unique chemistry and signal generation of copper oxide in percolating sensors and present a variety of applications of functional polymers made possible by proper imprinting.

Highlights of the subjects covered include:

          requirements for high-temperature sensors

          carbon nano tube sensors

          new sensing model for nanostructured In₂O₃

          bio mimetic approach for semiconductor sensor-based systems

          optical readout for inorganic and organic semiconductor sensors

          concept of virtual multisensors to improve specificity and selectivity

          calorimetric sensors for hydrogen peroxide detection

          percolation effect-based sensors to implement dosimeters
