Online resources: Summary: Key features include: Self-assessment questions and exercises Chapters start with essential principles, then go on to address more advanced topics More than 1300 references to direct the reader to key literature and further reading Highly illustrated with 450 figures, including chemical structures and reactions, functioning principles, constructive details and response characteristics Chemical sensors are self-contained analytical devices that provide real-time information on chemical composition. A chemical sensor integrates two distinct functions: recognition and transduction. Such devices are widely used for a variety of applications, including clinical analysis, environment monitoring and monitoring of industrial processes. This text provides an up-to-date survey of chemical sensor science and technology, with a good balance between classical aspects and contemporary trends. Topics covered include: Structure and properties of recognition materials and reagents, including synthetic, biological and biomimetic materials, microorganisms and whole-cells Physicochemical basis of various transduction methods (electrical, thermal, electrochemical, optical, mechanical and acoustic wave-based) Auxiliary materials used e.g. synthetic and natural polymers, inorganic materials, semiconductors, carbon and metallic materials properties and applications of advanced materials (particularly nanomaterials) in the production of chemical sensors and biosensors Advanced manufacturing methods Sensors obtained by combining particular transduction and recognition methods Mathematical modeling of chemical sensor processes Suitable as a textbook for graduate and final year undergraduate students, and also for researchers in chemistry, biology, physics, physiology, pharmacology and electronic engineering, this bookis valuable to anyone interested in the field ofSummary: Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Preface -- Acknowledgements -- List of Symbols -- List of Acronyms -- Chapter 1: What are Chemical Sensors? -- 1.1 Chemical Sensors: Definition and Components -- 1.2 Recognition Methods -- 1.3 Transduction Methods -- 1.4 Sensor Configuration and Fabrication -- 1.5 Sensor Calibration -- 1.6 Sensor Figures of Merit -- 1.7 Sensor Arrays -- 1.8 Sensors in Flow Analysis Systems -- 1.9 Applications of Chemical Sensors -- 1.10 Literature on Chemical Sensors and Biosensors -- 1.11 Organization of the Text -- References -- Chapter 2: Protein Structure and Properties -- 2.1 Amino Acids -- 2.2 Chemical Structure of Proteins -- 2.3 Conformation of Protein Macromolecules -- 2.4 Noncovalent Chemical Bonds in Protein Molecules -- 2.5 Recognition Processes Involving Proteins -- 2.6 Outlook -- References -- Chapter 3: Enzymes and Enzymatic Sensors -- 3.1 General -- 3.2 Enzyme Nomenclature and Classification -- 3.3 Enzyme Components and Cofactors -- 3.4 Some Enzymes with Relevance to Biosensors -- 3.5 Transduction Methods in Enzymatic Biosensors -- 3.6 Kinetics of Enzyme Reactions -- 3.7 Enzyme Inhibition -- 3.8 Concluding Remarks -- References -- Chapter 4: Mathematical Modeling of Enzymatic Sensors -- 4.1 Introduction -- 4.2 The Enzymatic Sensor under External Diffusion Conditions -- 4.3 The Enzymatic Sensor under Internal Diffusion Control -- 4.4 The General Case -- 4.5 Outlook -- References -- Chapter 5: Materials and Methods in Chemical-Sensor Manufacturing -- 5.1 Introduction -- 5.2 Noncovalent Immobilization at Solid Surfaces -- 5.3 Covalent Conjugation -- 5.4 Supports and Support Modification -- 5.5 Affinity Reactions -- 5.6 Thin Molecular Layers -- 5.7 Sol-Gel Chemistry Methods -- 5.8 Hydrogels -- 5.9 Conducting Polymers -- 5.10 Encapsulation -- 5.11 Entrapment in Mesoporous Materials.PPN: PPN: 809869918Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PQE | ZDB-30-PQE
