DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/880ca0/biosensor_nanomate) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Biosensor Nanomaterials" to their offering.
The book focuses on the materials that are suitable for biosensor applications such as nanoparticles, quantum dots, meso- and nanoporous materials and nanotubes. In the different chapters the reader finds information on how to prepare the respective nanomaterials for uses in actual devices by appropriate functionalization, surface processing or directed self-assembly.
The prevailing detection methods are electrochemical, probing the changes in pH value or resistivity; optical, detecting fluorescence signals; and mechanical, measuring macroscopic pressure gradients or direct mechanical deformations on the nanoscale, and providing solutions to challenging tasks.
The result is a reference for researchers and developers, disseminating first-hand information on which nanomaterial is best suited to a particular application - and why.
