SAW Sensors for Chemical Vapors and Gases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology provides a sensitive platform for sensing chemicals in gaseous and fluidic states with the inherent advantages of passive and wireless operation. In this review, we provide a general overview on the fundamental aspects and some major advances of Rayleigh wave-based SAW sensors in sensing chemicals in a gaseous phase. In particular, we review the progress in general understanding of the SAW chemical sensing mechanism, optimization of the sensor characteristics, and the development of the sensors operational at different conditions. Based on previous publications, we suggest some appropriate sensing approaches for particular applications and identify new opportunities and needs for additional research in this area moving into the future.

Certain olefin gases and vapors can be measured selectively at low concentrations using surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors vated with reagents of the general formula trans-PtClz(olefin)(amine). The sensor response depends on the steady-state rate of mass change associated with substitution of the initially complexed olefin by the free olefin analyte. This paper examines the effects of changes ...

Arrays with polymer-coated acoustic sensors, such as surface acoustic wave (SAW) and surface transverse wave (STW) sensors, have successfully been applied for a variety of gas sensing applications. However, the stability of the sensors' polymer coatings over a longer period of use has hardly been investigated. We used an array of eight STW resonator sensors coated with different polymers. This ...
