Overview
- Focus is on physical and chemical principles of operation of chemical sensors, not on their detailed description
- Four main categories of sensing principles are covered: Thermal, mass, electrochemical and optical
- Sensor applications are included only as examples
- General topics include: Origins of selectivity, data reduction, elements of fabrication
- Appendices allow non-specialists to follow the explanations
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
“Introduces the main operating principles of chemical sensors … . addressed to students of chemistry, physics, and engineering who want to gain knowledge of the working principles of chemical sensors. … excellent ‘teaching’ book for graduate and master students … . experienced researchers in this field can also find useful information on basic concepts of sensing principles. … provide the reader with basic knowledge of this field. … a good ‘teaching’ book on chemical sensors that could be used in introductory courses on this topic.” (María Cruz Moreno-Bondi, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 399, 2011)Authors and Affiliations
