Molecular Sensors and Nanodevices: Principles, Designs and Applications in Biomedical Engineering

Molecular Sensors and Nanodevices: Principles, Designs and Applications in Biomedical Engineering, Second Edition is designed to be used as a foundational text, aimed at graduates, advanced undergraduates, early-career engineers and clinicians. The book presents the essential principles of molecular sensors, including theories, fabrication techniques and reviews. In addition, important devices and recently, highly-cited research outcomes are also cited. This differentiates the book from other titles on the market whose primary focus is more research-oriented and aimed at more of a niche market. Covers the fundamental principles of device engineering and molecular sensing, sensor theories and applications in biomedical science and engineeringIntroduces nano/micro fabrication techniques, including MEMS, bioMEMS, microTAS and nanomaterials science that are essential in the miniaturization of versatile molecular sensorsExplores applications of nanomaterials and biomaterials, including proteins, DNAs, nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanotubes/wires and graphene in biomedicine INDICE: 1. Introduction to Molecular Sensors 2. Fundamentals of Nano/Microfabrication and Scale Effect 3. Microfluidics basics and total analytical systems 4. Electrical transducers: electrochemical sensors and FET-based molecular sensors 5. Optical transducers: optical molecular sensors and optical spectroscopy 6. Mechanical transducers: cantilevers, acoustic wave sensors and thermal sensors 7. Nanomaterials for molecular sensing 8. Implantable and wearable sensors
