Abstract
This chapter presents the potential of the application of nano-sensors for trace explosive detection. A major challenge faced in detecting trace explosives is the detection of ultra-low quantities of trace compounds. This chapter discusses the selective and sensitive detection of trace explosives by employing nano-sensors, limitations of detecting trace explosives, and reevaluates the current technologies that are inefficient and inaccurate for trace explosive detection. Application of nano-sensors for the exposure of low concentration explosive compounds is an effective platform in the advancement of trace explosive detection.
