This book covers the fundamental as well as the advanced aspects of using cyclodextrins effectively for the selective sensing of analytes, designing sensory systems using cyclodextrins, and the mechanisms of cyclodextrins-based sensors. It ultimately provides a holistic and collective understanding on the various chemosensory systems based on cyclodextrins, which will help readers in designing and developing new sensors. This book serves as an invaluable single-point reference material for researchers working in both academia and industry, as well as to students and librarians. Readers will gain valuable insights into selecting suitable cyclodextrins based on the size of the analyte, optimizing sensitivity and selectivity, comparing LOD/LOQ, and more.

Prof. Dr. Sivakumar Krishnamoorthy serves as Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, and as the Director of the Research and Development Cell at Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Viswa Mahavidyalaya (SCSVMV), a Deemed-to-be University in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, India. Inspired by the versatility of cyclodextrins, his research focuses on developing innovative application materials through cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. He holds one granted Indian patent on cyclodextrin applications and has filed five patent applications. He is a recipient of a research fellowship from the Indian Academy of Sciences and has authored over 115 research papers. He has secured funding from various Government of India agencies, including DST, CSIR, UGC, DAE, the Indian Academy of Sciences, and the Tamil Nadu State Council for Science and Technology, for his research projects and programs.
