摘要: Abstract We report the original design of a new type electronic nose (e-nose) consisting only five sensors made hierarchically structured conductive polymer nanocomposites (CPC). Each sensor benefits from both exceptional electrical properties carbon nanotubes (CNT) used to build architecture and spray layer by (sLbL) assembly technique, which provides transducers with highly specific 3D surface structure. Excellent sensitivity selectivity were obtained optimizing amount CNT different matrices: poly(caprolactone) (PCL), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(carbonate) (PC), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) biobased polyester (BPR). The ability resulting e-nose detect nine organic solvent vapours (isopropanol, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, n -heptane, cyclohexane, methanol, ethanol, water toluene), as well biomarkers for lung cancer detection in breath analysis, has been demonstrated. Principal component analysis (PCA) proved be an excellent pattern recognition tool separate vapour clusters.
