This book showcases the state of the art in the field of sensors and microsystems revealing
the impressive potential of novel methodologies and technologies. It covers a broad range of
aspects including: bio- physical and chemical sensors actuators micro- and nano-structured
materials mechanisms of interaction and signal transduction polymers and biomaterials sensor
electronics and instrumentation analytical microsystems recognition systems and signal
analysis and sensor networks as well as manufacturing technologies environmental food and
biomedical applications. The book gathers a selection of papers presented at the 19th AISEM
National Conference on Sensors and Microsystems. Held in Lecce Italy in February 2017 the
event brought together researchers end users technology teams and policy makers.
