Abstract

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensors based on carbon nanotube polymer composites as sensitive layers were investigated for the detection of low concentrations of volatile organic compounds as octane and toluene. Several nanocomposites based on polyepichlorohydrin (PECH) and polyetherurethane (PEUT) with different percentage of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were tested to study the effect of MWCNTs in the response of sensors.
