Springer - Functional Nanostructures and Sensors for CBRN Defence

Explore the latest advancements in materials science with this academic text from the NATO Science for Peace and Security Series C. As nanotechnology continues to evolve, new methods for preparing and processing materials at the nanometer scale are creating a new generation of highly effective sensors and detectors. This book addresses the pressing need for advanced detection technologies in a world facing complex environmental and security challenges. It examines how modern industrial processes in transport, agriculture, and the chemical industry contribute to the contamination of air, soil, and water through dangerous waste gases and liquids. Beyond environmental concerns, the text looks at the necessity of applying new technological principles to protect society from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats. It serves as a vital resource for understanding how nanostructure innovation can be used to enhance both environmental safety and global security measures.
