he subject of nanomaterials for biosensors is generally of great interest to undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry, physics, materials science, and biomedical science. This book, authored by Malhotra and Ali, makes a good effort to explain the basic concepts of biosensors based on different types of nanomaterials. The first chapter is an introduction to the fundamentals and applications of nanomaterials and biosensors. The advantages of the use of engineered nanomaterials in biosensors, such as nanoscale size and compatibility with biological molecules, are discussed. For chapters 2–8, each chapter covers the properties and biosensing applications of a type of nanomaterial. Chapter 2 introduces carbon nanomaterials, such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and graph-ene oxide, and their use in biosensors for monitoring different biological molecules, such as low-density
lipoproteins (LDLs). The functionalization of carbon nanomaterials for biomolecule attachment is explored. The concepts related to properties that characterize nanostructured metals and metal oxides are presented in chapter 3, with a focus on their use in point-of-care diagnosis and immunosensors. Chapter 4 provides a discussion on the properties of conducting polymers and their applications in biosensors and bioimaging. In chapter 5, the multifunctional properties of hybrid nanocomposites are discussed because of their promise as materials for biomolecular devices, especially for healthcare diagnostics. The issues related to coupling of plasmonic nanostructured materials with fiber-optic technology for the development of biosensors are discussed in chapter 6. Chapter 7 explores the fundamental properties of different types of nanostructured biomaterials, specifically metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and composite for

his is an outstanding book on graphene and related materials, including carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (R-GO). Four chapters cover the fabrication, fundamental properties, and characterization of carbon-based materials and devices. This book will be useful for researchers
working in graphene materials in the applied physics, chemistry, and materials science areas. Chapter 1 starts with fundamentals of carbon atomic configuration. Fundamental properties and various applications of carbon allotropes such as fullerenes and nanotubes are discussed in detail.
in vivo and in vitro biosensors. DNA biosensing principles are discussed in chapter 8. Various techniques for DNA detection and transduction methods are presented. This chapter also includes a description of the development of DNA biosensors and microarray-based devices. Chapter 9 addresses the integration of microfluidics with
