Von der hinteren Coverseite

In modern society, sensors are used in electronics, food packaging, construction, automobile, and aerospace applications. The advancement of smart technologies has increased their usage because of their affordability and reliability. Among the materials used for the fabrication of sensors, polymer composites are the most preferred, because of their light weight, versatility, low cost, and ease of processing.

Polymeric Nanocomposite Materials for Sensor Applications covers all the important aspects of polymer composite-based sensors, from fundamentals to fabrication. Key chapters focus on the materials used for sensors and their characterization, properties, fabrication, and classification. Various applications of polymeric sensors are also discussed in detail.

The book is an essential reference resource, not only for the materials scientist but also for researchers, academics, technologists, and students working in the sensor technology industry.
