Carbon Nanotube-Based Sensors: Fabrication, Characterization, and Implementation highlights the latest research and developments on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their applications in sensors and sensing systems. It offers an overview of CNTs, including their synthesis, functionalization, characterization, and toxicology. It then delves into the fabrication and various applications of CNT-based sensors.

FEATURES

  • Defines the significance of different forms of CNT-based sensors synthesized for diverse engineering applications and compares the feasibility of their generation
  • Helps readers evaluate different types of fabrication techniques to generate CNTs and their subsequent sensing
  • Discusses fabrication of low-cost, efficient CNTs-based sensors that can be used for diverse applications and sheds light on synthesis methods for a range of printing techniques
  • Highlights challenges and advances in security-related issues using CNTs-based sensors

This book is aimed at researchers in the fields of materials and electrical engineering who are interested in the development of sensor technology for industrial, biomedical, and related applications.
