Sensors Volume 8: Micro- and Nanosensor Technology – Trends in Sensor Markets 
A Comprehensive Survey

Sensors is the first self-contained series to deal with the whole area of sensors. It describes general aspects, technical and physical fundamentals, construction, function, applications and developments of the various types of sensors.

This final volume of the series uncovers trends in sensor technology and gives a comprehensive overview of the sensor market. The use of sensors in microsystems and in vacuum microelectronic as well as in acoustic wave devices is discussed. Present and emerging applications of sensors in aerospace, environmental, automotive, and medical industries, among others, are described.

This volume is an indispensable reference work for both specialists and newcomers, researchers and developers
