Preface

Nanocomposites are rapidly emerging as novel materials for sensor technology; therefore, the scientific community has recently focused on the advancement in the development of innovative methods and materials relied upon efficient composites. The implementation of nanocomposite materials for the development of specific and sensitive sensing platforms receives good attention. This book focuses on the reviews of important reported literature for new approaches of nanocomposite material preparation and their applications in the development of physical, chemical, electrochemical, biological, and optical sensors, etc. These nanomaterials have been extensively used widely (to amplify the signal) in the detection of heavy metal ions, vital signs (i.e., glucose, etc.), explosives, hydrazine, humidity, etc. This book focuses on representing some state-of-the-art review chapters based on reported works in the last few decades, outlining the synthesis, role, and progress of nanocomposite materials in fabricating flexible and multifunctional sensing platforms in sensor technologies. The book is intended to prepare a highly compiled knowledge for designing novel nanocomposite materials to be used as sensing platforms in sensor technologies. A broad range of readers such as graduates and post-graduates, Ph.D. scholars, faculty members, professionals working in the area of material science, the healthcare industry, biological sciences, medical sciences, environmental science will be benefitted from the topics preferred in the proposed book.
