Sensor applications industry

The development of highly selective chemical sensors for complex matrixes of medical, environmental, and industrial interest has been the object of greate research efforts in the last years. Recently, the use of artificial materials - molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) - with high recognition properties has been proposed for designing biomimetic sensors, but only a few sensor applications of MIPs based on electrosynythesized conductive polymers (MIEPs) have been reported [1-3].

Special optical fibres have been intensively investigated during recent years because of their potential wide-range use for on-line monitoring of material properties or processes in a number of areas of human activity (environment protection, food industry, medicine etc.) Their technology can be considered an integral part of the team-work on optical fibre sensors development. Despite special optical fibres represent a unique and often indispensable tool for a variety of sensor applications, special fibre production still represents only a small fraction of the market. Probably it is because of their low consumption (in comparison with standard telecommunication fibres), the need for much more advanced know-how and lower reproducibility.

Stabilization of activated oxidoreductases on time scales of months to years has historically been challenging, and the lack of success in this regard has limited the industrial implementation of redox enzymes to applications that do not require long lifetimes. However, as mentioned in the Introduction, some possibility of improved stability has arisen from immobilization of enzymes in hydrophilic cages formed by silica sol—gels and aerogels, primarily for sensor applications.The tradeoff of this approach is expected to be a lowering of current density because... 

The development of sensors for industrial process monitoring and control is an area of increasing importance. In particular, there are relatively few sensors that are capable of monitoring the state of a catalyst despite the fact that catalyst state can have a very significant impact on overall process performance. Consequently, there is a need to develop new sensors for the in-situ monitoring of catalyst state. Solid electrolyte electrochemical cells show promise as sensors which could be used for intermediate and high temperature application (temperatures greater than about 200°C). 

The book covers the entire field of electrochemical (bio)sensor design and characterization and at the same time gives a comprehensive picture of (bio)sensor applications in real clinical, environmental, food and industry-related samples as well as for citizens safety/security. In addition to the chapters, this volume offers 53 step-by-step procedures ready to use in the laboratory. This complementary information is offered on a CD-ROM included with the book in order to facilitate hands-on information on the practical use of electrochemical biosensor devices for the interested reader. It is the first time that the Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry series offers such complementary information with detailed practical procedures. 

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. New theory, new controllers, actuators, sensors, new industrial processes, computer methods, new applications, new philosophies..., new challenges. Much of this development work resides in industrial reports, feasibility study papers and the reports of advanced collaborative projects. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of such new work in all aspects of industrial control for wider and rapid dissemination. 

In the industrial field, modified silica assists the development of advanced materials. Modified silica powders are used as a filler in rubbers and in new-type gas sensors. Most industrial applications involve the use of strongly related materials such as glass fibres or thin Si02 layers. We wish to restrict ourselves to a discussion of the application of powdered silica and a short indication of related compounds.

Chemical sensors are important for industrial process control and environmental monitoring. They also find critical use in medical and defense applications. Two of the critical performance parameters of a sensor are selectivity and sensitivity. When integrated with an appropriate sensor platform (e.g., quartz crystal microbalance or electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance), a zeolite film can improve the selectivity and sensitivity of the sensor due to its ability to selectively adsorb a component out of a mixture. A large number of publications have appeared in this area, and an in-depth review on zeolite films for chemical sensor applications up to 1996 was provided as a section in a recent review by Bein. " Here, we highlight a recent development of selective chemical sensor based on continuous oriented zeolite films.

All acoustic wave sensors are sensitive, to varying degrees, to perturbations from many different physical parameters. As a matter of fact all acoustic wave devices manufactured for the telecommunication industry must be hermetically sealed to prevent any disturbances because they will be sensed by the device and cause an unwanted change in output [5]. But for sensor application requirement is just reversed. Acoustic wave sensors become pressure, torque, shock, strain and force etc. detectors under an applied stress that changes the dynamics of the propagating medium and called as physical sensor.

Regardless of whether pm-ification or modification steps are employed liquid deposition of allows the formation of SWNT networks on a wide variety of substrates at room temperature without the use of complicated equipment. Further, these networks can be formed on transparent substrates like glass or plastic quickly (17,86-89). This property results in numerous novel sensor applications and such devices are expected to have a huge impact on the electronics industry in general (18,90-95).
