Book Description

0120774607 978-0120774609 October 24, 1996 1
Written by an interdisciplinary group of experts from both industry and academia, Acoustic Wave Sensors provides an in-depth look at the current state of acoustic wave devices and the scope of their use in chemical, biochemical, and physical measurements, as well as in engineering applications. Because of the inherent interdisciplinary applications of these devices, this book will be useful for the chemist and biochemist interested in the use and development ofthese sensors for specific applications; the electrical engineer involved in the design and improvement of these devices; the chemical engineer and the biotechnologist interested in using these devices for process monitoring and control; and the sensor community at large.

Key Features
* Provides in-depth comparison and analyses of different types of acoustic wave devices
* Discusses operating principles and design considerations
* Includes table of relevant material constants for quick reference
* Presents an extensive review of current uses of these devices for chemical, biochemical, and physical measurements, and engineering applications

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Comprehensive, January 22, 2010
This review is from: Acoustic Wave Sensors: Theory, Design, & Physico-Chemical Applications (Applications of Modern Acoustics) (Hardcover)
Covers a wide variety of sensors with focus on analyte-film interactions for various physical/chemical absorption processes. Particularly interesting is the comparison of transients for reversible and irreversible interactions.

5.0 out of 5 stars About the best acoustic wave sensors book available, January 19, 2007
This review is from: Acoustic Wave Sensors: Theory, Design, & Physico-Chemical Applications (Applications of Modern Acoustics) (Hardcover)
This work does a pretty good job of spanning both theory and practical concepts. After an introduction it gives an overview of piezoelectric theory that is covered in more (but still insufficient) detail in Colin Campbell's book, "Surface Acoustic Wave Devices". The central part of the book discusses thickness shear mode, SAW, acoustic plate mode, and flexural plate mode sensors. The remainder of the book discusses coatings and other practical issues involving actual fabrication and use of acoustic wave sensors. The book gives lots of references from appropriate literature. It does present many equations from that literature that are given without derivation. In some respects these equations are only approximate, and it is left to the reader to discover both the physical derivation and the limitations of the equations. In fairness to the authors, the subject area is vast, and any reasonably sized book will have limitations. Overall, it is the best book on the subject, being slightly more thorough than Thompson and Stone's "Surface-Launched Acoustic Wave Sensors."
