摘 要:In conclusion, in this chapter, we have reviewed the development of high-performance fiber nanosensors for environmental monitoring applications, realized by the combination of advanced nanostructured coatings based on SWCNTs with the optical fiber technology.In particular, the chapter starts with a wide review of the state of the art of carbon nanotube-based sensors for environmental monitoring, followed by a description of the operating principle of the fiberoptic nanosensors in the FP-type reflectometric configuration. The attention is then focused on the methods so far proposed for the integration of such nanostructured materials with the optical fibers and in particular on the LB deposition, which is the technique we adopted for the fiber-optic nanosensors fabrication.
