چکیده
An innovative and efficient β-functionalization of [5,10,15-tris-(4-methylphenyl) corrolato]Cobalt derivatives introduced an acrolein substituent, which allowed the copolymerization with pure acrolein. The obtained hybrid microparticles have been used as sensing materials of quart microbalance gas sensors. The sensing properties have been tested by exposure to different volatile organic compounds chosen as model analytes. Results show an improved sensitivity of the hybrid microparticles respect to the individual constituents.

Noble metals addition on nanostructured metal oxides is an attractive way to enhance gas sensing properties. Herein, hierarchical zinc oxide (ZnO) porous microspheres decorated with cubic gold particles (Au particles) were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. The as-prepared Au-decorated ZnO was then utilized as the sensing film of a gas sensor based on a quartz crystal microbalance ...

An array of 50 MHz quartz microbalances (QMBs) coated with a dendronized polymer was used to detect small amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the gas phase. The results were compared to those obtained with the commonly used 10 MHz QMBs. The 50 MHz QMBs proved to be a powerful tool for the detection of VOCs in the gas phase; therefore, they represent a promising alternative to the mu...

We have investigated two arti®cial intelligence (AI)-based approaches for the optimum selection of a sensor array for the identi®cation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The array consists of quartz crystal microbalances (QCMs), each coated with a different polymeric material. The ®rst approach uses a decision tree classi®cation algorithm to determine the minimum number of features that are...
