This collection on paper-based sensors is the second volume of a four-volume Handbook devoted to the consideration of all aspects of paper devices from the synthesis of nanocellulose and paper manufacturing to the discussion of the features of their fabrication and use. In particular, the second volume describes all types of sensors that can be fabricated based on paper and cellulose and presents a comprehensive and detailed analysis of all aspects of the fabrication and application of these sensors in environmental monitoring, biomedicine, healthcare, agriculture, food industry, and other fields. As for paper bioengineering and environmental engineering, as well as paper electronic devices intended for electronics, optoelectronics, and energy technology, they are considered in the subsequent volumes.
The books allow the reader to understand the current state of paper-based sensors and devices and the role of paper in the development of a new generation of sensors and electronic devices with increased efficiency for various purposes.
World-renowned experts with extensive experience in developing nanocellulose-based technologies, paper sensors and electronic devices are among the authors of this collection. The Handbook of Paper-Based Sensors and Devices is an authoritative reference for materials scientists, biologists, physicians, and biochemical engineers as well as for chemical, biomedical, environmental, electronics, agriculture engineers and the food biotechnologists, working in R&D industry and academia. It further stands as a valuable teaching tool for university faculty and students working in chemical sensing, biosensing, biomedicine, biomaterials, environment protection and remediation.
- Illustrates the unique properties of paper and nanopaper make them adaptable for use in a wide range of applications;
- Considers in detail the synthesis/modification of nanocellulose intended for use in various fields;
- Analyzes the specifics of manufacturing paper-based flexible and wearable sensors and systems for various applications.
Doctor Hubilitat Ghenadii Korotcenkov is Chief Scientific Researcher, Moldova State University, Chisinau, Moldova. He has more than 50 years of research experience in the field of materials science and the development and research of various devices based on semiconductor materials. Until 1995 he studied Schottky barriers, MOS structures, native oxides, and various photoreceivers based on III-Vs compounds such as InP, GaP, AlGaAs, and InGaAs. His current research interests since 1995 include material sciences, focusing on metal oxide film deposition and characterization (In2O3, SnO2, ZnO, TiO2), surface science, thermoelectric conversion, and design of physical and chemical sensors, including thin film gas sensors. G. Korotcenkov is the author or editor of 45 books and special issues published by Momentum Press, CRC Press, Springer (USA), Harbin Institute of Technology Press (China), Trans Tech Publication (Switzerland) and EDP Sciences (France). Currently he is a series editor of "Metal Oxides" book series published by Elsevier. Since 2017, more than 40 volumes have been published within this series. G. Korotcenkov is the author and coauthor of more than 675 scientific publications, including 35 review papers, 70 book chapters, more than 250 peer-reviewed articles published in scientific journals (h-factor=45 (Web of Science), h=47 (Scopus) and h=72 (Google scholar citation), 2024).
