Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back Gas chemical nanosensors with sensitive elements based on polymers. Analysis of development during last years V.A. BUZANOVSKII Results of development during last ten years of gas chemical nanosensors with the sensitive elements based on polymers are submitted in the review. The developed devices are systematized according to construction features of their sensitive elements. Thus three nanosensor groups are defined. Group 1 is devices sensitive elements of which have a covering only from polymer. Group 2 is nanosensors with the sensitive elements containing a multilayered covering based on polymer. Group 3 is devices sensitive elements of which have a covering from the composite based on polymer. The review consists of three parts. Nanosensors with the sensitive elements containing a covering only from polymer are considered in the first part of the review. In particular, ability of these devices to determination of the big number of organic and inorganic chemical compounds is demonstrated. Influence of thickness and morphology of a covering of sensitive elements of the nanosensors on their metrological characteristics is shown. Key words: nanotechnology, nanomaterial, gas chemical nanosensor, sensitive element, covering, polymer, metrological characteristic. Contacts: Е-mail: vab1960@rambler.ru Pp. 28-51.
