Biosensors are core elements in intelligent system for monitoring and controlling natural and industrial environments. Nanotechnology offers new functionalities, enabling new types of sensors, sensing-based systems and applications. Integrated electronics have started a revolution in this field, allowing the shrink of complex electronic systems into millimeter-square sizes. Nanotechnology has led to a dramatic improvement in the performance. sensitivity and selectivity of biosensors.. Metal-oxide and carbon nanostructures, gold and magnetite nanoparticles and integration of dendrimers in biosensors using nanotechnology have contributed greatly in making biosensors more effective and affordable on a mass-market level. Nanotechnology and Biosensors shows how nanotechnology is used to create affordable, mass-produced portable small sized biosensors to directly monitor environmental pollutants, and to integrate these into components and systems for mass market applications in food analysis, environmental monitoring and health diagnostics.- Highlights nanotechnology-based approaches to the detection of enzyme inhibitors, direct enzymatic and microbial detection of metabolites and nutrients using biosensors- Includes examples of how nanotechnology has led to improvements in the construction of portable, selective and sensitive biosensing devices- Offers thorough coverage of biomarker/biosensor interaction for the rapid detection of toxicants and pollutants
