Abstract

Chemiresistive gas sensor based on conducting polymer is a type of sensors that presents gas sensors with excellent characters; low-cost fabrication, fast detection, simultaneous determination (array gas sensor), portable devices and so. Theses gas sensors are commonly based on polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), polythiophene (PTh) and their derivatives as a transducer. Common configuration and response mechanism of these sensors are reported in this section. Some factors that induce selectivity to these sensors are discussed. Different materials (conductor or insulant) can be used as a substrate of polymerization. Type of substrate, selective membranes, surface modification of conducting polymer and so can change response behavior of these sensors.
