Chemical vapor sensing arrays have grown in popularity over the past two decades, finding applications for tasks such as process control, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnosis. This is the first in-depth analysis of the process of choosing materials and components for these "electronic noses", with special emphasis on computational methods. For a view of component selection with an experimental perspective, readers may refer to the complementary volume of Integrated Microanalytical Systems entitled "Combinatorial Methodologies for Sensor Materials."
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"The book is written in a comprehensible manner. Each chapter contains descriptive examples. After a short introduction, the book gives very detailed information about scientific issues in each topic. Besides quantum mechanical principles, statistical approaches are covered as well. Therefore, all important topics for selecting sensing materials for chemical vapor sensing are covered. Owing to this excellent collection, the book is recommended for all scientists working on chemical vapor sensing." (Felix Kolarov, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 397, May, 2010)
