Research and Markets Adds Book on Biosensor Nanomaterials

Research and Markets has added John Wiley and Sons' book named Biosensor Nanomaterials to its offerings.

This book describes about the materials that are ideal for biosensor applications that include quantum dots, meso- and nanoporous materials, nanotubes, and nanoparticles. Each chapter provides information on how a particular nanomaterial suitable for respective devices can be prepared employing proper methods, self-assembling techniques, or surface processing.

The existing nanomaterial detection methods include optical, electrochemical, and mechanical to enable obtaining solutions for difficult tasks. Optical method deals with identifying fluorescence signals. Electrochemical method detects changes in pH value or resistivity. Mechanical method enables quantifying macroscopic pressure inclinations or nanoscale level of direct mechanical deformations. The book provides references to researchers and producers on the type of nanomaterial suitable for a particular application and the reason for the same.

The important topics explained in this book include fabrication and evaluation of nanoparticle-based biosensors, semiconductor quantum dots for electrochemical biosensors, advanced nanoparticles in medical biosensors and smart polymeric nanofibers resolving biorecognition issues. Other topics include new micro- and nanotechnologies for electrochemical biosensor development, nanomaterials for optical imaging, current frontiers in electrochemical biosensors using chitosan nanocomposites, functionalized graphene for biosensing applications, enzyme-based biosensors - synthesis and applications, energy harvesting for biosensors using biofriendly materials, nanomaterials as promising dna biosensors, nanocomposites and their biosensor applications, and carbon nanotubes - in vitro and in vivo sensing and imaging and lipid nanoparticle-mediated detection of proteins.
