Abstract

Dear Readers, It gives us immense pleasure to present this special issue that aims to highlight the ongoing research being carried out in the area of sensors and actuators in India. The issue comprises of both original research as well as review articles. A review article on ZnO nano-structured devices for chemical and optical sensing applications provides a systematic and comprehensive guide to the readers on the use of one of the most explored functional metal oxides (ZnO) in remarkably diversified applications such as biomedical, environmental, and optical sensing. Further, this issue contains an article on perovskites for chemometric assisted simultaneous detection of trace amounts of heavy metal ions in biological samples. Apart from reporting well-established and emerging nanomaterials in the field of sensing, there are articles on various analytical detection techniques that are optical, and fluorescence based. An article on TiO2 nanoparticles based non-enzymatic label-free optical sensor for the rapid detection of L-lactate in apple juice would be of great interest to the scientific community working in the area of food quality and safety. Other works include a research paper on the colorimetric detection of zinc sulfate ions using a tetra-(4-pyridylphenyl) ethylene as an active sensing material and an article on electrochemical immunosensor for detection of cardiac troponin-I.
