Nanomaterial-Based Flexible and Multifunctional Sensors       Edited by Eric Singh Department of Computer Science, Stanford University, California, USA Hari Singh Nalwa Advanced Technology Research, Los Angeles, California, USA       July 2018 651 pages, Hardcover ISBN: 1-58883-257-0 USD 399.00   PREFACE Nanostructured materials exhibit unique chemical and physical properties in relation to their bulk counterparts. This fact has opened many new possibilities for using nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, metal nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanowires, nanorods, and their nanocomposites in fabricating different types of gas and chemical sensors, electrochemical and fluorescence sensors, and stretchable strain sensors. This book contains eleven state-of-the-art review chapters outlining the role of nanomaterials in fabricating flexible and multifunctional sensors, and their applications in sensor technologies. These include stretchable and bendable strain sensors for physical activity monitoring and for healthcare; soft robotics for wearable electronics; chemical sensors for detecting humidity, environmental toxic gases, hazardous volatile organic compounds, pesticides, mycotoxins, heavy metal ions in drinking water, food-borne pathogens and toxins, explosives, and biological warfare agents, as well as, electrochemical technology–based biosensing for detecting vital signs, blood glucose for diabetics, cholesterol for cardiovascular disease, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels in living cells, levels of dopamine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, nucleic acids, and enzymes, and biomarkers for cancers. The research topics include graphene-based flexible and stretchable strain sensors for wearable electronics, graphene-based gas sensors, carbon nanotubes and metal oxide–based flexible sensors and electrochemical sensors, applications of carbon dots in fluorescent sensors, the role of silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) nanomaterials in different types of sensors, nanocomposites of conducting polymers with carbon nanotubes and graphene as sensors for detecting biomolecules and drugs. The fields of nanotechnology and sensors are very broad and have considerable potential for the future; therefore, this book will be a valuable resource for students, scientists, and professionals working in the research areas of sensor technologies, nanotechnology, materials science, chemistry, physics, biological and medical sciences, the healthcare industry, environmental science, and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
