Temperature nanosensors for smart manufacturing

This chapter describes how nanotechnology has improved temperature sensors, allowing them to be used in many different applications. Temperature nanosensors efficiently measure the temperature of an object or system with either an analog or digital output. Conventional sensors can be used for measurement of temperature at the macro level, but nanosensors can measure temperature in remote or unusual conditions, like determining the temperature of a body cell. Temperature nanosensors of different types are currently being manufactured, depending upon the application. Temperature nanosensors are used extensively in smart manufacturing, including in the electronics, chemical, and automobile industries, among others. It is forecasted that the global temperature sensor market size will rise from USD 06.03 billion in 2020 to USD 08.08 billion by 2027. This shows the importance of temperature sensors in the global market. This chapter describes types of temperature nanosensors, their methods of manufacturing, and applications in various fields.
