Abstract

Novel nanomaterial for use in bioassay applications represents a rapid advancing field. Various kinds of nanomaterial have been investigated to determine their properties and possible applications in biosensor. The nanomaterial’s ultrafine grain, high-concentration grain boundary and the adjacent condition of interfacial atoms determine their specific performance which was obviously different from amorphous, normal polycrystal and monocrystal. The common properties of micro/nano material contain volume effect, also known as small size effect, surface effect, quantum size effect, macroscopic quantum tunnel effect, and dielectric confinement effect. Besides, different nanomaterials also have their unique characteristics. Because of these extraordinary effects and properties, nanomaterial shows incredible macroscopic physical properties, which lay a broad prospect for its application. Biosensor is a kind of special sensor which consists of biomolecule recognition element and all kinds of physical or chemical transduces. They are often applied to analyze and detect living and chemical matter with high specificity and accuracy and low cost. Biosensors including electrochemical biosensors, optical biosensor, piezoelectric sensor, and FET-biosensor have got very great developments with the use of micro/nano material. The structures, properties, and applications in biosensors of several main groups, including metal nanomaterial, carbon nanomaterial, semiconductor material, magnetic nanomaterial, etc., are studied in this chapter.
