Nanotechnology and biosensors show how nanotechnology is used to create affordable, mass-produced, portable, small-sized nanosensors to directly monitor food toxicants and environmental pollutants. In addition, it provides the market with systems for applications in food analysis, environmental monitoring and health diagnostics. Nanotechnology has led to a dramatic improvement in the performance, sensitivity and selectivity of biosensor devices. Metal-oxides and carbon nanostructures, gold and magnetite nanoparticles, and the integration of dendrimers in biosensors using nanotechnology, have contributed greatly to making nanosensors more effective and affordable in the market. This book provides a timely resource on the subject.

About the Author

Dimitrios Nikolelis received his PhD from the University of Athens in 1976 and is a professor of analytical and environmental chemistry at the University of Athens. He is the Editor of many scientific journals and has authored ca. 200 scientific articles. He is also the Editor of five books. His research is targeted on the fabrication of portable biosensors used for the detection of food toxicants and environmental pollutants such as hydrazines, dioxins, insecticides, toxins, etc.
