Designing Polymeric Sensing Materials for Analyte Detection and Related Mechanisms
Stewart, Katherine M.E.; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2016-02)A systematic approach is used to design and tailor sensing materials for targeted analytes and specific applications. An example is used to demonstrate how potential sensing materials can be designed based on the chemical ... -
Designing Polymeric Sensing Materials: What are we Doing Wrong?
Stewart, Katherine M.; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2016-08-31)Gas analytes, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), interact with polymeric sensing materials through various sensing mechanisms. The dominant sensing mechanisms are discussed for different types of VOCs, which are ... -
Evaluation of Polymeric Nanocomposites for the Detection of Toxic Gas Analytes
Stewart, Katherine M.E.; Penlidis, Alexander (Taylor & Francis, 2016-09)Four different metal oxide nanoparticles, copper oxide (CuO), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), nickel oxide (NiO), and titanium dioxide (TiO2), were added to poly (2,5-dimethyl aniline) (P25DMA) during synthesis to create different ... -
Sensor Array for Volatile Organic Compounds based on Doped Poly (2,5-dimethyl aniline)
Stewart, Katherine M.E.; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2016-12)A sensor array containing five different sensing materials has been created that is able to distinguish between six different volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at an analyte concentration of 5 ppm. While none of the sensing ...
