This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Fourth Italian Conference on Sensors and Microsystems, held in Rome in 1999. Topics addressed include chemical sensors in organic and in inorganic materials, ChemFET, arrays of non-selective sensors, and fibre optics sensors.

This book offers a unique view on the research activities (industrial and academic) carried out in Italy in the fields of chemical and physical sensors, biosensors, and microsystems. It contains about 80 papers on all fields of sensors and microsystems.

The 5th Italian Conference on Sensors and Microsystems was held in Lecce, Italy. This location opened the conference to mediterranean countries, particularly the Middle East.

This study presents research and development in the fields of sensors and microsystems. Many aspects of disciplines related to sensors and microsystems are covered, ranging from materials science to complete applications and multifunctional systems. The variety of the topics and the quality of the papers should offer readers an insight into the research status in Italy. The book contains selected contributions from 37 institutions in Italy - both academic institutions and public/private research institutions.

This indispensable volume contains a selection of papers presented at the

This book collects a number of papers presented at the 13th Italian Conference on Sensors and Microsystems. It provides a unique perspective on the research and development of sensors, microsystems and related technologies in Italy. Besides the scientific value of the papers, this book offers a unique source of data to analysts that intend to survey the Italian situation on sensors and microsystems.

This work covers topics such as actuators, micromachined structures, chemical sensors, and humidity sensors.
