Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
In the field of nanotechnology, nanocomposites have gained increasing and
significant attention owing to their unique physico-chemical characteristics. This
outstanding characteristic makes them a suitable candidate in various fields of
application, such as electronics, sensors, biotechnology and catalysis. The development
of nanocomposites has proven to be a basis for the development of accurate
electrochemical sensors with low limit of detection, high sensitivity and selectivity.
The high performance electrochemical sensors have found their way in various
application fields, such as biomedical, analysis of food products and other
environmental pollutants present in the atmosphere. In this chapter, we present a survey
of the application of various tailored nanocomposites as sensing platforms for
hydrazine. Particularly, electrochemical sensors based on carbon-based nanomaterials,
metallic nanomaterials, and related nanocomposites are given special attention.
Keywords:
Composites, Hydrazine, Hybrid materials, Sensors, Tailored nanocomposites.
