Polymers in sensor applications

Interaction of carbon monoxide with PEDOT-PSS/zeolite composite: effect of Si/Al ratio of ZSM-5 zeolite

“…Commercial CO gas sensors, typically based on semiconducting metal oxide sensors (e.g. tin oxide) and operating on the basis of catalytic reactions between the semiconductor and contact gases, produces a change in semiconductor conductance [1]. The metal oxide sensor provides rapid response, but it needs to operate at high temperature [2][3][4].…”

Morphological characterization and analytical application of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)–Prussian blue composite films electrodeposited in situ on platinum electrode chips

“…Conducting polymers have been used in sensor technology thanks to their optical and electronic properties [5][6][7][8][9]. Research carried out recently in electrochemical sensor technology revealed that modification of the electrode surfaces with organicinorganic coatings avoids the drawbacks associated with bare electrodes.…”

Modeling the mechanical properties of ultra-thin polymer films

“…Freestanding ultra-thin polymer films are utilized in a variety of applications, including sensors, catalysis, filtration, and tissue engineering [1][2][3][4] . At the National Ignition Facility (NIF), nanometer scale polyvinyl formal films are routinely used as load-bearing elements to support fuel capsules in complex millimeter-scale inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets [5] .…”
