Elsevier Carbon-Based Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites for Gas Sensing (Micro and Nano Technologies)

Product Description Carbon-Based Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites for Gas Sensing discusses the state-of-the-art, emerging challenges, properties and opportunities of various carbon-based nanomaterials and nanocomposites with their application in smart gas sensors. The book focuses on carbon-based nanomaterials used for the purpose of sensing, device fabrication and its applications for the sensing of various hazardous gases. In addition, it provides systematic and effective guidelines for researchers who want to gain a fundamental understanding on how this class of materials is being used for gas sensing. Since these sensors can be applied for the automation of numerous industrial processes and for the everyday monitoring of various activities, including public safety, engine performance, medical therapeutics, and in many other situations, this book will catch the attention of readers and motivate them for advanced research in the development of smart and efficient gas sensors.
