Overview

With the recent technological advancement usage of unique nanomaterials and bio-based composite materials as sensors has been greatly improved. Biopolymers and bio-based composite materials have especially been exploited due to their unique physical, optical, electrochemical, and biocompatible properties.  In this book, experts and researchers in various sensor technology areas discuss the basics of biosensors, the methods used to synthesize different biomaterials, and the characterization and functionalization of these biomaterials. Processes for the self-assembly of biomaterials and the fabrication of biomaterials onto transducers are clearly explained. It also outlines the current status in the field and the utility of such bio-based sensors for medical diagnostics, food safety, industrial, and environmental monitoring. Besides pressure and temperature sensing applications, other applications include detecting gases, chemicals, biomolecules, body fluids, bacteria, and viruses.The book is well illustrated, and the presentation is concise and systematic throughout. Biomaterials-Based Sensors will be an ideal source of up-to-date information for all engaged in their research, design, and use.

He is presently working as a Scientific Officer at DBT-IOC  Center for Advanced Bioenergy Research, Faridabad. Earlier, he was working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Yeungnam University, Republic of Korea. He has over seven years of experience in applied microbiological research including about 2 years of experience in industrial R&D. His main areas of research are biopolymers, microbial biodiversity, bioenergy, microbial biofilms, quorum sensing, quorum quenching, and genomics. His present research is oriented toward valorizing lignocellulosic biowastes into value-added products such as biopolymer, 2G ethanol, bioenergy, and antibiofilm compounds. To his credit, there are over 32 articles in SCI journals, 5 books, and 11 chapters with international publishers. He has been servingthe scientific society by reviewing articles for several SCI journals and delivering guest lectures. Publons awarded him the peer review award in the year 2018. He also serves as the editorial board member of a few international journals. Sandip Kumar Dash Ph.D. Dr. Sandip Kumar Dash received Ph.D. in Zoology from CSIR-IGIB, Delhi. He is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Zoology, Berhampur University, India. He has over 10 years of research and teaching experience. His research interest includes DNA biosensors and carbon nanotubes for various biotechnological applications. He has published more than 15 research works in SCI journals. He is also leading research projects and is a member of several committees at Berhampur University. Dr. Sandip also serves scientific society by delivering guest lectures and reviewing scientific articles for SCI journals. He is also a life member of various national and international societies. His works on bacterial meningitis have received significant attention in the community. His current research deals with the utilization of multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes/Manganese dioxide composites for biomedical applications.  Subhasree Ray Ph.D.  Dr. Subhasree is currently working as an Assistant professor at Sharda University, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. She earned her Ph.D. degree from CSIR-IGIB, Delhi in 2018. She received the prestigious CSIR-SRF fellowship. Her main research work was focused on the production of biopolymers from waste biomass. After Ph.D., she joined as a postdoctoral researcher at Ewha University, and the University of Seoul, South Korea. Here, her main focus was anaerobic digestion of food wastes for methane production. She also studied methanogenesis at 4000L pilot-scale plant. After successful completion of 1 year, she joined another project at Yeungnam University, South Korea. During that period, she worked on several fungal toxins and their inhibition from fermented food. She also worked on biofilm inhibition of pathogenic organisms by natural bioactive compounds. To her credit, she has 13 research papers published in peer-reviewed journals and 8 book chapters. In addition, she is a life member of various scientific societies and also a member of various committees at the Sharda University for Graduate and Undergraduate programs. Shahila Parween Ph.D. Dr. Shahila Parween has acquired her Ph.D. (Biological Sciences) and high-quality postdoctoral studies at two flagship research institutes of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Government of India, namely the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) and the Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology (CCMB) respectively. Currently, she is working as a Research Scientist at MNR Foundation for Research & Innovations (MNR-FRI), MNR Medical College & Hospital, Telangana, India. She has a strong experience of more than 10 years in biosciences and biomedical research which is evidenced by her 15 plus publications in internationally leading journals, and successful prototype developments for lipid profiling, on-farm mastitis detection, early cancer detection, whole blood glucose monitoring, and ultra-fast ELISA.
