Handbook of Graphene, Volume 6 Biosensors and Advanced Sensors

The sixth volume in a series of handbooks on graphene research and applications

The Handbook of Graphene, Volume 6: Biosensors and Advanced Sensors discusses the unique benefits that the discovery of graphene has brought to the sensing and biosensing sectors. It examines graphene's use in leading-edge technology applications and the development of a variety of graphene-based sensors. The handbook looks at how graphene can be used as an electrode, substrate, or transducer in sensor design. Graphene-based sensor detection has achieved up to femto-levels, with performances delivering the advantages of greater selectivity, sensitivity, and stability.

Barbara Palys received her PhD (1993) from University of Twente, the Netherlands and DSc (2008) from University of Warsaw, Poland. She is currently professor at the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Warsaw and leader of the group "Materials for Biosensors" at the Biological and Chemical Research Centre of University of Warsaw. Her research interests include design and studies of surfaces, materials and nanostructures that can be used as matrices for deposition of enzymes; electrocatalytic properties of hybrid materials comprising graphene oxide, nanostructures of conductive polymers, supramolecular polymeric gels and metallic nanostructures as well as SERS applications of graphene oxide. She has authored more than 70 publications cited over 1300 times (H-factor =21).
