Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

"Research in the area of chemical and biochemical sensors and the development of respective applications is still growing rapidly. In the last decade it has become evident that the successful development of chemical and biochemical sensors resistant to the harsh conditions in the various routine applications calls for a cooperation between chemists and engineers. Thus, this book aims at instructing researcher and practitioners in both disciplines in a strictly systematic, interdisciplinary and practice-oriented way about the basic technology of chemical and biochemical sensors. This concise volume bridges the gap between the different ""ways of thinking"" in chemistry, physics and engineering. It provides a firm grounding for engineers, industrial and academic researcher in the field, for practitioners and novices as well as for advanced students."

Reviews for Chemical Sensors: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers

Aus den Rezensionen: ... Nach dem einfuhrenden Kapitel werden die Grundlagen der Sensortechnik in einem ausserst effizienten und gezielten Schnelldurchgang durch die relevanten Teilgebiete der Physik, der physikalischen Chemie, der Biochemie ... und der Oberflachentechnik erlautert. ... Der Einsatz von chemischen Sensoren beruhrt verschiedene Disziplinen der Naturwissenschaften und des Ingenieurwesens. Dieses sehr ansprechende und informative Buch ist in seiner ubersichtlichen und anschaulichen Darstellung fur Studium und Praxis gleichermassen gut geeignet. (Dr. Norbert Hofert, in: Gefahrstoffe - Reinhaltung der Luft, 2008, Vol. 68, Issue 3, S. 82) ! Ziel dieses Lehrbuches ist es, sowohl Chemikern und Physikern als auch Ingenieuren ! in ! einer ! sehr praxisorientierten Darstellung die Technologie und die Anwendung chemischer Sensoren nahezubringen. ! Die ! Kapitel zu elektrochemischen und optischen Sensoren sind sehr umfangreich und gut strukturiert. Sie erlautern ausfuhrlich Funktionsweisen bis hin zu nutzlichen Hinweisen fur eine Messung. ! Der interdisziplinare Ansatz scheint gegluckt. ... Chemiker konnen das Dargestellte gut nachvollziehen. Leser mit Interessenschwerpunkt im Bereich elektrochemische und optische Sensoren werden daher von diesem Lehrbuch gut in die Materie eingefuhrt ! (Dr. Yvonne Joseph, in: GDCh Mitteilungsblatt Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker, 2008, Issue 1, S. 18 f.)
