Chemically Enhanced Polymer Coated Carbon Nanotube Electronic Gas Sensor forIsopropyl Alcohol Detection

Abstract

Breathing-air quality within commercial airline cabins has come under increased scrutiny because of the identification of volatile organiccompounds (VOCs) from the engine bleed air used to provide oxygen to cabins. Ideally, a sensor would be placed within the bleed air pipeitself, enabling detection before it permeated through and contaminated the entire cabin. Current gas-phase sensors suffer from issues withselectivity, do not have the appropriate form factor, or are too complex for commercial deployment.
