Reviews

From the reviews: "The present book gives a wide-ranging overview of the applications of combinatorial synthesis to the field of sensor development. … The chapters are organized into seven sections based on techniques for constructing the main sensors … . In summary, this volume offers a carefully picked collection of relevant examples from the field of synthesis of combinatorial sensors. A reader interested in this field and already conversant in the science of sensors will find it a thought-provoking starting point for more in-depth literature research." (Marco Bonizzoni and Eric V. Anslyn, Journal of the American Chemistry Society, Vol. 131 (40), 2009)
