Chemical Sensors

Chemical Sensors: Simulation and Modeling: Microstructural Characterization and Modeling of Metal Oxides, edited by is the first of a new five volume comprehensive reference work that provides computer simulation and modeling techniques in various fields of chemical sensing and the important applications for chemical sensing such as bulk and surface diffusion, adsorption, surface reactions, sintering, conductivity, mass transport, and interphase interactions.

In this first volume, you will find background and guidance on:

• Fundamentals of electrochemistry for gas sensors
• Stabilized zirconia-based gas sensors
• Ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET)-based chemical sensors
• Microfluidic chips as new platforms for electrochemical sensing
• Optical and fiber optic chemical sensors
• Chemoluminscence chemical sensing for new applications in water pollution control

Chemical sensors are integral to the automation of myriad industrial processes and everyday monitoring of such activities as public safety, engine performance, medical therapeutics, and many more. This five-volume reference work covering simulation and modeling will serve as the perfect complement to Momentum Press’s 6-volume reference work, Chemical Sensors: Fundamentals of Sensing Materials and Chemical Sensors: Comprehensive Sensor Technologies, which present detailed information related to materials, technologies, construction, and application of various devices for chemical sensing. Each simulation and modeling volume in the present series reviews modeling principles and approaches peculiar to specific groups of materials and devices applied for chemical sensing.
