“…By recording the response frequency change of a conducting polymer film coated quartz microbalance, water vapor, hydrocarbon, acetone, organic acids, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX compounds) can be detected [ 90 - 94 ]. Besides, The mass increase measurement is usually combined with other techniques to give additional information in sensing processes [ 95 - 97 ]. Nigorikawa and Hwang, used PPy and PPy-based composite film respectively, successfully recognized different molecules based on the ( ΔR / Δf ) value, where ΔR and Δf are the resistance change of the film and response frequency change of the crystal [ 98 , 99 ].…”
